What is the Mediq 5 x module first aid kit in soft pack?
The Mediq 5 x Module First Aid Kit in Soft Pack (FAMKS) is a workplace first aid kit whose 257 components are divided across five labelled modules, so a first aider can lift out only the module that matches the injury. The kit is rated for 1-25 persons in higher-risk workplaces.
Five incident-ready modules for fast, organised response in higher-risk workplaces.
Modular first aid built for higher-risk sites
The Mediq 5 x Module First Aid Kit in Soft Pack (FAMKS) takes a modular, incident-ready approach to workplace first aid. Instead of one undifferentiated kit, its 257 components are split across five clearly labelled modules: Burns, Eye, Haemorrhage (major bleeding), Minor Wounds, and Outdoor/Snake/Spider. A first aider can grab the right module for the injury without searching through a single tray under pressure.
The kit is rated for 1-25 persons in higher-risk workplaces and is designed in line with Safe Work Australia's model Code of Practice First aid in the workplace (July 2019). The lightweight soft pack includes a carry handle and tamper-resistant zip ties so you can confirm at a glance that the kit is sealed and complete.

What is in each of the five modules?
The five modules in the Mediq FAMKS each target one injury type: Burns carries dressings and cooling items, Eye carries saline or eye wash and eye pads, Haemorrhage carries trauma dressings and bandages, Minor Wounds carries plasters, wipes and dressings, and Outdoor/Snake/Spider carries compression bandages for bites and stings.
- Burns: dressings and cooling items to manage thermal and contact burns.
- Eye: saline/eye wash and eye pads for flushing and covering eye injuries.
- Haemorrhage: trauma dressings and bandages for controlling major bleeding.
- Minor Wounds: plasters, wipes and dressings for everyday cuts and abrasions.
- Outdoor / Snake / Spider: compression bandages and items for bites, stings and outdoor incidents.
Why a modular, incident-ready design helps
In a real incident, speed and clarity matter. A modular kit lets a first aider take only the relevant module to the casualty, keeps the rest of the kit sealed and uncontaminated, and makes restocking simpler because you can replace a single used module rather than auditing the whole kit. It also helps less-experienced responders act decisively, because the module label points them to the right supplies.
Higher-risk workplaces and first aid provision
Safe Work Australia's Code separates workplaces into low-risk and higher-risk. Higher-risk settings such as construction, manufacturing, workshops, warehousing and outdoor work face a greater chance of serious injury (bleeding, burns, eye damage, bites), which is exactly what this kit's modules target. Matching kit type and worker numbers to your risk rating is the clearest way to show your first aid provision is appropriate, but you should still confirm the number of kits and trained first aiders through your own risk assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Is the FAMKS for low-risk or higher-risk workplaces?
The FAMKS is configured for higher-risk workplaces with 1-25 persons, which covers settings such as construction, manufacturing, workshops, warehousing and outdoor work. For a low-risk site, the Essential Workplace Response range (such as FAEWT) is the matching option, so check your own risk rating before ordering.
How many pieces does the 5 module first aid kit contain?
The kit contains 257 components in total, divided across five modules: Burns, Eye, Haemorrhage, Minor Wounds and Outdoor/Snake/Spider. Splitting the contents this way means a first aider carries only the module that matches the injury, and the remaining modules stay sealed until they are needed.
Can I restock just one module?
Yes. The modular design lets you replace a single used module rather than auditing the whole kit, and the tamper-resistant zip ties make it easy to see which modules have been opened. Restocking one module also keeps the remaining modules sealed and uncontaminated between incidents.
What are the dimensions of the FAMKS soft pack?
The orange soft pack measures 460mm (W) x 260mm (H) x 200mm (D), includes a carry handle and is lightweight enough to carry to an incident. Check those measurements against the storage space on your site or in your first aid station before you order.
How do you know whether the kit has been opened?
Tamper-resistant zip ties seal the soft pack, so a broken or missing tie shows at a glance that a module has been used and the kit needs checking. Pair that visual check with your normal first aid audit so the used module is restocked before the next incident.
