5 Things You Must Do If You Want To Create a First Aid Kit For Your Family
1. Accidents and medical emergencies in the home happen frequently. Maybe more frequently than we realize. Statistics show a fatal injury occurs every 18 minutes in homes across America and every 4 seconds a disabling injury could occur. Accidents occur from falls, fire, burns, choking and poisoning. 2. Every home should have at least one first Aid Kit that is well stocked and readily available. First Aid Kits are used most often for minor injuries such as cuts, sunburns or bites. Having a well stocked First Aid Kit available can save someone's life in a serious accident. 3. A First Aid Kit won't be any good to you if you don't know how to use it. Make sure you have a guide in your kit from a reliable source. It should have the latest medical advice and be easy to understand, particularly under stress. 4. There are 5 categories that are imperative in your First Aid Kit 5. Instruments Pointed tweezers for removing splinters 6. Antiseptics Antiseptics such as Hydrogen Peroxide to kill germs. 7. Medicines Over the counter medicines such as antihistamine 8. Keeping your First Aid Kit Updated Your First Aid Kit should be checked once a year, possibly the same day you check your smoke detectors, to be sure it is fully stocked and nothing has expired. Make sure you always make a note of anything you use out of your Kit so it can easily be replaced. 9. Storing your First Aid Kit Make sure you store your First Aid Kit in a tote bag or plastic container that will keep your kit clean and dry and easily accessible in your home. It is recommended to have one on each floor in your home and workshop. Make sure everyone in your home knows where they are and how to use it. It could save your families life.
