Product Overview
The Vehicle Kit 2 is a fundamental safety component for anyone operating a motor vehicle for work or leisure. In the unpredictable environment of the UK road network, being prepared for minor incidents is not just good practice; it is a professional necessity. This kit provides essential first aid components in a package specifically designed to reside within the often-cramped confines of a vehicle interior. Its presence ensures that you are equipped to handle basic medical needs whether you are on a local delivery or a long-distance haul.
Key Features
- CE Certified: This ensures the kit meets the high safety, health, and environmental protection requirements of the European Economic Area, providing you with a product that is fit for purpose.
- BS 8599 2 Compliant: Meeting this British Standard for motor vehicle first aid kits ensures you are equipped according to modern safety recommendations and regulatory expectations.
- Compact Soft Case: The flexible casing allows for easier storage in irregular spaces compared to rigid plastic alternatives, making it ideal for the modern vehicle cabin.
- Secure Zip Closure: This keeps all contents contained and protected from dust and debris until they are needed, while allowing for quick access during an emergency.
Design & Performance
The FA21 Vehicle Kit is housed in a durable green soft-shell case. Measuring approximately 16cm in length and 12cm in width, it is specifically proportioned to slide into glove compartments, under-seat storage bins, or side-door pockets. The lightweight nature of the kit means it adds negligible mass to your vehicle while providing a significant safety advantage.
The zip mechanism is chosen for its reliability, ensuring that the kit can be accessed rapidly in high-pressure situations. The fabric of the case is robust enough to withstand the vibrations and temperature fluctuations common in vehicle environments without degrading. This performance-led design ensures the kit remains a reliable fixture of your vehicle's safety equipment for years to come.
Why No Customisation?
We do not offer customisation or branding services for this vehicle first aid kit. As a piece of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and a medical safety device, it is critical that the original manufacturer's markings and regulatory information remain visible and unobstructed. Furthermore, embroidery would compromise the integrity of the protective casing, potentially allowing moisture or contaminants to reach the sterile contents inside. To ensure your compliance and safety, we provide this item exactly as specified.
Use Cases
This kit is an ideal choice for courier fleets, mobile service engineers, and taxi drivers who require a space-efficient safety solution. It is also highly suitable for individual commuters who wish to ensure they are prepared for emergencies while on the road. For business owners, providing these kits to mobile staff is a clear demonstration of duty of care and commitment to safety.
Why MyWorkwear
MyWorkwear has been a cornerstone of the UK workwear and safety industry since 1976.

Practical Advice
Given its compact dimensions, we recommend storing the kit in a location that is easily accessible to the driver, such as the glovebox, rather than the boot. In an emergency, every second counts, and having your first aid equipment within arm's reach is a significant benefit. It is also wise to periodically check the contents to ensure that any items with expiry dates remain within their usable period.
Caring for your product
To maintain the performance of your vehicle kit, it should be kept in a dry environment and protected from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can degrade certain materials and the visibility of the case over time. Regularly inspect the zip to ensure it operates smoothly, as a seized zip is an avoidable complication during an emergency.
The outer case can be wiped clean with a damp cloth if it becomes soiled. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents, as these may damage the fabric or the integrity of the regulatory markings printed on the exterior. Ensure the case is completely dry before returning it to a confined storage space to prevent any issues with moisture affecting the internal packaging.
