Built for vehicles and mobile work
Work vehicles, fleets and field teams are effectively mobile workplaces, and first aid needs to travel with them. The compact footprint fits a glovebox without taking over the space, the carry strap makes it quick to grab from the vehicle to the casualty, and the soft pack copes with the knocks of vehicle storage better than a rigid box of the same size.
Do work vehicles need a first aid kit?
Under WHS duties a PCBU must ensure workers can access first aid wherever they work, and for drivers, sales reps, trades and remote or lone workers, that means in the vehicle. A compact motorist kit is a practical way to extend first aid coverage beyond the fixed workplace kit. For higher-risk field work, pair it with a larger or modular kit and consider items specific to your hazards.
Frequently asked questions
How many people is this first aid kit for?
The Mediq FACMS is a compact single-vehicle or personal kit of 156 pieces, with a stated capacity of 1 person / vehicle. The kit is intended to supplement, not replace, a full workplace kit, so keep the fixed site kit in place and use the motorist kit for drivers and lone workers on the road.
Will the Mediq motorist first aid kit fit in a glovebox?
Yes. At 210mm (W) x 140mm (H) x 80mm (D) the soft pack is sized for a glovebox, boot or under-seat storage, and the soft pack copes with the knocks of vehicle storage better than a rigid box of the same size. Measure your glovebox before you order.
How do I know the kit has not been used?
The kit ships tamper-resistant zip-tied, so an intact tie indicates the contents are sealed and complete. Check the tie before a trip. Once the tie has been cut the pack has been opened, so the contents can no longer be taken as sealed and complete without checking them.
