In times of emergency, a First Aid Kit is a very welcome thing to have to hand.

 

People are recommended to keep one in their home, in their car and to take one when they travel.

 

This is why First Aid Kits are available in many sizes.

 

In Lenehans we have small pocket sized first aid kits. These are compact within a neat purse type carryall that make them perfect to bring with you wherever you go. 

The small, medium and large first aid kits grow larger in size with various essential items stored in hard carry cases. These are easy to grab and bring to any emergency.

 

  1. First Aid - Be the first to the scene of an accident and be ready to help. No-one knows when an accident will occur and we can’t expect the emergency services to be on hand immediately. A bandage or dressing could stop the bleeding until emergency services arrive. A survival blanket could help with the onset of shock.
  2. Kids Play - Children will play and scrapes are inevitable. Have all you will need to nurse them back to health and get them back to their fun and games.
  3. Prevention - Nursing and cleaning a wound in the correct way when it occurs can prevent the wound becoming much worse and the chance of possible infection.
  4. Protect - If you take the initiative to ensure that you are fully prepared for an accident or emergency you can feel safe in the knowledge that you are doing all you can to protect your family, friends and neighbours.
  5. Time & Cost - Any initial care provided for wounds and injuries could prevent the need for excess professional medical care in the future. Treat wounds, stop bleeding and provide care to those who need it.

 

Knowledge on how to react in emergency situations is just as important as having the First Aid Kit to provide the care. Downloadable First Aid Posters are a great idea to pin up on wall where it might benefit you and those around you. Emergency situations can lead to panic which is why having the information on how to deal with the situation clear and available is very helpful. Download and print posters for your fridge, staff notice board, or classroom.

 

Keep a First Aid Kit with you in your car, in your home and in your daily luggage. No-ones knows when an accident might occur and it is always safer to have all the necessary essentials available to stop an emergency situation getting worse.
