Three tips for buying a first aid kit
You want your kit to cover all possible situations. Here are some good things to include:
- plasters, compression pads, and pressure dressings for immediate wound care
- wound wash and eye wash for cleaning and sanitising injuries
- burn gel to soothe and protect against burns
- an emergency blanket to provide warmth in case of exposure
- a blood stopper to control bleeding quickly
- a face mask for added protection during emergencies
- painkillers, allergy tablets, insect bite ointment, and anaesthetic ointment for common ailments
- diarrhoea tablets to address digestive issues
- disposable gloves, scissors, and tweezers for safe and hygienic first aid administration.
Look for a kit that's easy to use.
A waterproof kit ensures the contents aren't damaged if there's a flood or you need to carry it in the rain. This can be especially handy if you plan to take your kit on outdoor adventures like boating or skiing.
A dispenser makes it easy to grab plasters without rummaging through the rest of the contents and potentially soiling them.
A transparent lid allows you to quickly spot the item you need without having to open the kit and search through it.
Keeping your kit at home is a good idea. To make things simpler, you can attach a box to your wall where you can always find it. When there's an emergency, the last thing you want to do is search through cabinets and boxes.
If you want to take the kit with you, it should be easy to carry. A bag with sturdy handles is a practical option if you need to move quickly.
