Re: Should a P/L van have a first aid kit?
The Health and Safety (First-Aid) Regulations 1981 (as amended)
Guidance on Regulations
Needs of travelling, remote and lone workers
19 Employers are responsible for meeting the first-aid needs of their employees working away from the main site, for example those who travel regularly or who work elsewhere. The assessment should determine whether those who travel long distances or are continuously mobile should carry a personal first-aid kit. Organisations with employees who work in remote areas should consider making special arrangements such as issuing personal communicators. Where employees work alone, other means of summoning help such as a mobile phone may be useful to call for assistance in an emergency.
This guidance applies from 6 April 2013, subject to
Parliamentary approval of the amended Regulations.

Re: Should a P/L van have a first aid kit?
I'm a first aider and I advise anyone who is bitten to go to an A.E. to have it properly cleaned out,if you fall or trip and bang your head you are also advised to go to an A.E. I think if you had a first aid kit the temptation would be to carry on with your round.Health is far more important than getting your round done.
