Anaphylaxis Cabinets
Our range of anaphylaxis cabinets provides a secure and highly visible solution for storing Adrenaline Auto Injectors (AAIs) in line with Department of Health guidance. Designed for schools, workplaces and public spaces, these cabinets help ensure life-saving medication is always easy to locate and ready for use.
Correct storage is essential during an emergency. AAIs should be kept in a clearly identifiable, central location that allows immediate access for trained staff, while remaining appropriately positioned to prevent unauthorised handling.
"Schools should ensure that all AAI devices – including those belonging to a younger child, and any spare AAI in the Emergency kit – are kept in a safe and suitably central location: for example, the school office or staffroom to which all staff have access at all times, but in which the AAI is out of the reach and sight of children. They must not be locked away in a cupboard or an office where access is restricted. Schools should ensure that AAIs are accessible and available for use at all times, and not located more than 5 minutes away from where they may be needed."
From wall-mounted cabinets with clear signage to high-visibility, clear designs, this range supports compliance while helping to improve response times in critical situations.
Please note that we cannot accept returns on pharmaceutical products.

Storage For EpiPens and Adrenaline Injectors
Our range of points, boxes and signage make it easy to store AAIs in a compliant way in line with the Department of Health guidance. It is important to ensure that AAIs are not 'locked' away.
"Schools should ensure that all AAI devices – including those belonging to a younger child, and any spare AAI in the Emergency kit – are kept in a safe and suitably central location: for example, the school office or staffroom to which all staff have access at all times, but in which the AAI is out of the reach and sight of children. They must not be locked away in a cupboard or an office where access is restricted. Schools should ensure that AAIs are accessible and available for use at all times, and not located more than 5 minutes away from where they may be needed. In larger schools, it may be prudent to locate a kit near the central dining area and another near the playground; more than one kit may be needed."
We also supply our anaphylaxis kits with simple but effective tamper tags which dissuade from misuse and prevent accidental opening, but allow for emergency access to devices in seconds when needed.
Spare/Emergency AAIs Should:
-
Be stored in pairs for each dose
-
Be within 5 minutes access time per site
-
If holding 4 devices, they could be stored in 2 pairs of each dose
-
Be properly signposted and marked - e.g. ‘Emergency Anaphylaxis Kit’
-
Be regularly inspected and have expiry dates of devices logged
-
Be accessible, not locked away, and not mixed with prescribed/personal devices
Signposting Adrenaline Injectors and Anaphylaxis Kits
As with all first aid and emergency medical supplies, Adrenaline Injectors should be properly signposted with compliant and universally recognised signage.
Signage for first aid and medical supplies is classed as ‘safe condition’ signage, and should be green with white text and a first aid cross to be compliant with ISO standards and Health and Safety (Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996.
This is important to ensure that emergency Anaphylaxis provisions are signposted consistently with other signage that will already exist on your premises.
The HSE state: “Where signs of the same type are used in a workplace, they should be of a consistent style and design to ensure they are easily and quickly understood.”
- Consistency of design is important to avoid confusion and ensure messages are clearly understood.
- Signs should conform to the standardised designs laid out in the Signs and Signals regulations, particularly regarding colour, shape, and symbols.
- Using different styles of signs to convey the same type of message (e.g., multiple types of safe condition or emergency signs) is not recommended because:
- It can dilute recognition.
- It may cause hesitation or misinterpretation in emergencies.
- It can reduce overall effectiveness and compliance.
