I just had to get a first aid kit for my chemical store with eye wash for my red tractor audit, I got it from agrilinc. It’s only small but they did have a few larger ones. It would be worth a look.

I got couple of sets to put in machines off Spaldings they were keenly priced.
Boots are worth a look as they used to do a range of first aid kits.

In work we do alot of FAK's for field trips and we have to dump out of date stuff which is ludicrous! Please put in traumatic bleed bandages, alot of ag accidents involve traumatic bleeding and these can be life savers. Tourniquets have come back in fashion again too. A good first aid course is also worth investing in.

These are good stuff. Not particularly cheap but hey ho.

As I have said before on TFF, I would hazard that a farming first aid kit should probably contain a decent tourniquet and a plastic/foil backed survival blanket or bag as some of you guys are working well off the beaten track.

Put 300mg of aspirin in each kit may also be useful in case of chest pain.

Local first aid trainers/St Johns or possibly even the local fire department may be worth contacting so they can provide a 'farmers' first aid day.

Used the out of date stuff for training sessions, don't dump it. In fact I seem to remember that out of date stuff was collected up and send abroad for humanitarian relief efforts?

Amazon. Loads of options

As with practically everything else

We put it out for people to help themselves and this year sent loads to the Ukraine.

Just to make your day; my recent RT inspector gave me a non-compliance because my first aid kit didn't have a "best before " date.

Vet used an old flutter valve tube as a torniquet on a cow the other day, very successful.

Did you point out you did not intend to eat the kit or it's contents?

I just carry a Amazon first aid kit in tractor. Started a similar thread a few months ago and got a ripping!

 

[Spuddler]

I find the forestry approved kits better as they are designed for the more severe injury’s, etc

Super glue and insulation tape sorts most things here,
