First Aid Kit

The only transport company that provided a first aid kit that I’ve worked for was Hacklings, they also issue you with your own ADR kit as part of the ADR course.

I have still got both…

XPO have said there is no legal requirement to supply a first aid kit, even though we’re dealing with hazardous substances and the other two trucks have first aid kits. They only supply eyewash which is part of the ADR kit anyway.

XPO, is the only company that has supplied a calcium cream, we were told of an injection to be carried when doing Hacklings ADR course, but, as they never transported it we were never issued with any.

I take my own which is the Hacklings one with extra stuff I needed such as germaline, paracetamol and fabric plasters as I’m allergic to the other sort and a spare ventolin inhaler for my asthma!!
