Supporting Site Safety & Emergency Preparedness

The bag is intended to complement existing site safety procedures, training, and risk assessments, supporting teams in responding more effectively when incidents occur.
Use, Checks & Ongoing Responsibility

Routine checks
Some medical items supplied with the Emergency CORE Bag are single-use or expiry-dated. The included checklist is intended to support regular checks and timely replacement of these items as part of normal site safety routines.
Responsibility for use and compliance
Responsibility for ensuring appropriate use, maintenance, and compliance with local regulations remains with the site operator or employer.
What the Emergency CORE Bag does not replace
The Emergency CORE Bag is designed to support emergency preparedness but does not replace appropriate first aid training, site-specific risk assessments, professional medical care, or emergency services.
Defibrillator (Optional Add-Ons)
The Emergency CORE Bag includes a dedicated space designed to accommodate a portable defibrillator (AED). A defibrillator is not included as standard. Where required, a defibrillator may be arranged as an optional add-on. At this stage, defibrillators are sourced through established third-party suppliers rather than supplied directly as part of the Emergency CORE Bag.
Responsibility for the defibrillator, including certification, maintenance, registration, and use, remains with the manufacturer or supplier and with the site operator in accordance with local guidance and training requirements.
The Emergency CORE Bag provides secure storage and accessibility for a defibrillator but does not replace manufacturer instructions, training, or regulatory obligations relating to its use.
