When purchasing first aid kits, be sure to look at what specific items are included. Avoid generic or low-quality kits that don’t have proper dressings, name brand ointments and tools. You want sterile, high-quality components that will be effective when needed.
It’s also important to check expiration dates and replace used items or those that have expired. Create a schedule to routinely check your kit every 6 months and replace anything that’s missing or expired. Promptly re-stock any items used to be prepared for the next emergency. Consider ordering extra components like gauze, bandages and ointments for easy re-supply.
For homes with children, it’s wise to keep first aid kits both upstairs and downstairs, and in vehicles. The kitchen, garage, laundry room and bathroom are all ideal spots. If you enjoy traveling or camping, portable kits are essential to bring with you to treat outdoor mishaps. Rotate stock between your home kits and travel kits so you always have well-supplied backups.
Businesses should keep first aid kits in any area where employees work, like offices, workshops, warehouses, service trucks and employee breakrooms. Include supplies for treating both minor and traumatic injuries that may occur in your particular work environment. Having accessible kits and trained employees could help save lives in case of serious accidents.
So in summary, a well-designed first aid kit is something every home and business needs to be equipped for small and large emergencies. Compact, cute designs with clear labeling allow you to quickly locate exactly what you require to treat burns, wounds, sprains and other common injuries. Be sure to regularly check expiration dates and restock supplies. Focus on portability and ease of access in case you need to grab it in an emergency.
