Norsemen Safety – First Aid Burns Kit & Burn Treatment Supplies

Burns and scalds can occur unexpectedly, whether in industrial workshops, kitchens, maintenance areas, or site‑based work. Having a dedicated first aid burns kit — stocked with the right supplies — is vital for providing immediate care, minimising injury severity, and supporting recovery. At Norsemen Safety, we supply a comprehensive range of burn‑specific first aid kits and accessories to help you respond quickly and safely.

Why a Dedicated First Aid Burns Kit Matters

General first aid kits often cover cuts, abrasions, and minor wounds — but when it comes to burns and scalds, additional specialised supplies are usually required. A burns kit includes items specifically designed to cool, soothe, protect and manage burn injuries — which standard wound‑care kits don’t always provide.

Having a burns first aid kit is particularly important in high‑risk environments (workshops, kitchens, factories, laboratories), where heat, chemicals, hot surfaces or open flames can lead to burn accidents. In such contexts, quick, correct first aid can prevent further tissue damage, reduce pain, and lower the risk of infection or complications.

What’s Inside a Good First Aid Burns Kit from Norsemen Safety

Our burns kits come ready‑equipped — with everything needed to treat minor to moderate burns properly, and to stabilise more serious burns until professional medical care is available. Typical contents include:

• Sterile burn dressings & burn‑specific plasters — to cover the burn safely, protect from infection, and aid healing.

• Cooling burn gel / hydrogel dressings — these help to cool the burn quickly, relieve pain, and prevent further heat damage to skin tissue.

• Conforming bandages, non‑stick gauze, adhesive tape & dressings — to secure protective coverings without sticking to the burn site.

• Disposable gloves & sanitary materials — crucial for hygiene when treating burn injuries to avoid contamination or infection.

• Scissors / shears and cutting tools — to cut clothing or dressings safely if needed. Burns often require removing or cutting away clothing — ideally by trained first-aider.

• Eye‑wash or eye care items (if needed) — in case of chemical burns or splashes affecting the face or eyes.

• Foil / thermal blanket (for larger burns or shock prevention) — especially if victims need to be kept warm post‑injury or during transport to medical care.

Because burns vary in severity — from minor scalds and contact burns to severe chemical or flame injuries — having a proper burns first aid kit ensures you’re prepared for a range of scenarios.

How to Use a First Aid Burns Kit — Best Practice & Initial Steps

Based on recognised guidance (e.g. from healthcare providers), here’s how a burns injury should be treated using a suitable first aid kit:

1. Stop the burning process immediately — remove the person from danger, extinguish flames or heat sources, and ensure the environment is safe.

2. Cool the burn under cool running water for at least 20 minutes — this reduces heat in the tissue and limits damage, pain, swelling, and long‑term scars.

3. Once cooled, apply a non‑stick burn dressing or hydrogel dressing — dressings that don’t stick to skin avoid further trauma while protecting from infection.

4. Protect and secure the burn with appropriate bandages, gloves and coverings — using sterile gloves, adhesive tape, and conforming bandages to ensure cleanliness and comfort.

5. Seek medical help if necessary — for deep, large-area, chemical or electrical burns, or burns to sensitive areas (face, hands, genitals). Use the burns kit to stabilise and cover the area while awaiting professional care.

When You Should Use a Burns First Aid Kit — Recommended Environments

Burns first aid kits are vital in any setting where there’s a risk of heat, fire, chemicals or scalds. Examples include:

• Trade workshops, foundries, welding and metal‑work sites where sparks, heat, or molten substances are present.

• Kitchens — commercial or industrial — where workers use hot surfaces, boiling liquids or open flames.

• Laboratories, chemical‑handling facilities, or anywhere with potential for chemical burns.

• Vehicle maintenance, repair shops, or mobile work‑units dealing with hot parts or welding.

• Construction sites, factories, or industrial facilities with heat or flame‑related hazards.

• Any workplace where first aid provision (according to a risk assessment) is required.
