About First Aid Kit Contents Count Calculator

Quantities scale with headcount and double for higher risk settings, with one kit per fifty people in low risk premises and one per twenty five in higher risk ones. Kit count matters as much as contents, because a single well stocked kit at the far end of a site is effectively unavailable in an emergency.

Formula

Kits required

kits = ceiling(people / people per kit for the risk level)
