What to have in the first aid kit at home, at work and in the vehicle

Dec 29, 2023

It is essential to keep a first aid kit readily available in the home, cottage, car, boat, workplace and recreational area so that minor accidents and injuries can be dealt with.

A well-stocked first aid kit is a useful thing to have.

The first aid kit at home should contain the following:

Emergency first aid in the workplace is also essential if a fatal disaster occurs during working hours.

For example, the office could be structurally damaged and electricity could be out for a couple of days.

There could also be injuries such as cuts and strains that require medical attention when emergency assistance is not available.

Keep emergency supplies in a backpack or duffel bag so you can take them with you if you have to evacuate the area.

Having first aid equipment for your car is one of the best ways to prepare yourself and your family for any emergency you may encounter.

Whether you’re simply driving to and from work, going out to run your daily errands or embarking on an exciting family road trip, it’s always a good idea to be prepared for anything that might happen along the way.

Travel first aid supplies need to be more comprehensive because a drugstore may or may not be accessible in your area.

In addition to basic medical items, the travel first aid kit should contain items to help relieve common symptoms of allergies and viral respiratory infections.

Here are the basic first aid items you need when travelling:

The best place to keep your emergency first aid kit at home is in the kitchen because most family activities take place in the kitchen.

Avoid putting your first aid kit in the bathroom because it has too much moisture, which shortens the shelf life of the items.

A first aid kit in the car should be like a home first aid kit.

After all, you can keep similar first aid kits in your travel trailer, mobile home, camper van, cabin, holiday home and wherever you spend time.

When travelling, you should keep a first aid kit in a water-resistant bag, backpack or fanny pack, depending on the activity.

Having the essentials of a first aid kit at hand is not enough.

You have to make sure you know how to use all the items in your kit correctly, especially the medicines.

It would be beneficial if someone in your family is trained to make sure that others in your family use the kit.

Always check the kit twice a year and replace expired drugs or medicines.
