Anaphylaxis Storage Boxes, Points & Cabinets
Our range of starer packs, 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."
“Schools might like to keep the emergency kit together with an "emergency asthma inhaler kit" (containing an inhaler device and spacer). Many food-allergic children also have asthma, and asthma is a common symptom during food-induced anaphylaxis." - Department of Health: Guidance on the use of adrenaline auto-injectors in schools

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.
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.
