As I understand it the provision, or not, of First aid kits in vehicles is subject to an "assessment of need". This would take into account the type of work undertaken, and the likelihood and type of injury, and be "adequate and appropriate in the circumstances".
Further guidance is available from HSE - First aid at work ACOP and guidance L74 – HSE books - should be available on the website.
From personal experience first aid kits suitable for vehicles have limited content, and as not all drivers are first aid trained, they have limited use.

Where I workied Previously, all company vehicles had to carry a fist aid box, in relation to employees own cars that were used for work this was not the case.
It really depends on the vehicle and what it is used for, and if the driver is expected to need a first aid kit, ie an engineer.

Does the requirment of the provision of a 1st aid box etc extend to fleet vehicles or to employees own vehicles if being used for work?
