Trafalgar Personal First Aid Kit
The Trafalgar Personal First Aid Kit is a compact, portable case for a car, a bag or a desk drawer. Comprehensive enough to be useful, small enough that it actually travels.
Who a personal first aid kit is for
One person, away from a workplace kit. Commuters, sales and service staff who drive between sites, students, and anyone whose nearest first aid supplies are otherwise a shop. It covers the everyday: cuts, grazes, blisters, splinters and minor burns.
A hard case rather than a pouch means the contents are not crushed at the bottom of a bag, which is the usual fate of soft kits kept in a car.
Personal kit or workplace kit?
| Kit | Suits |
|---|---|
| Personal (this one) | One person, in a car, bag or drawer |
| Workplace wall mount | A site or premises, to a contents list |
| Full kit range | Vehicle, marine, sports and home |
A personal kit does not satisfy a workplace contents requirement. If you are buying for a business, buy to the list that applies to you.
Keeping it stocked
Check it twice a year and after use. Personal kits empty quietly, one plaster at a time, and heat in a parked car degrades adhesive dressings faster than most people expect. Add your own regular medication, since no standard kit anticipates the individual.

Personal first aid kit FAQs
What is a personal first aid kit for?
One person away from other supplies: cuts, grazes, blisters, splinters and minor burns, in a car, bag or desk drawer.
Will it meet workplace requirements?
No. Workplace kits are specified by contents list and risk level, and those differ by jurisdiction. Buy to the applicable list rather than assuming a personal kit counts.
Is a hard case better than a pouch?
In a car or a bag, generally yes. A hard case stops contents being crushed and keeps dressings flat. A pouch is lighter and packs smaller, so it depends where it will live.
How often should I check it?
Twice a year and after each use. Personal kits get emptied a plaster at a time without anyone noticing until it matters.
Does heat in a car damage it?
Yes. Adhesive dressings go tacky or lose their stick in a hot parked car. Check a car-stored kit more often and replace anything soft or discoloured.
Should I add anything myself?
Personal medication, an asthma reliever if prescribed, and anything specific to you. A standard kit cannot know your circumstances.
A first aid kit supports trained first aid and does not replace medical care. In an emergency call your local emergency number. This information is a general guide and is not medical advice.
