Consumables
Discover everything you need to replenish your first aid kits.
First aid kits don’t always need to be replaced when you use them, in many cases you can simply replenish your first aid kit with first aid consumables, saving cost and reducing waste.
Consider your environment
Generally, all first aid consumables will cover a wide array of workplaces and working environments. For example, when working in food production or hospitality, blue plasters are required as opposed to fabric alternatives.
Always Check Shelf Life
Check your first aid consumables regularly as some items can expire. If items have passed their expiry date, then they may be ineffective and unsafe and should be disposed of as soon as possible. Always check the manufacturer expiry date.
