Putting
a
First
Aid
kit
together
All
workplaces,
Leisure
centres,
homes
and
cars
should
have
a
first-‐aid
kit.
The
Kits
for
the
workplace
and
leisure
centres
however
must
conform
to
legal
requirements
and
in
some
cases
these
kits
may
be
tailored
to
suit
what
is
required
such
as
adding
additional
equipment
for
a
specific
use.
The
first-‐aid
kit
should
be
clearly
marked
and
easily
accessible
for
the
trained
first
aider.
For
the
home
or
the
car,
a
complete
basic
first-‐aid
kit
can
be
bought
or
you
can
assemble
a
kit
yourself.
If
you
decide
to
assemble
your
own
kit
use
a
clean
waterproof
container.
Mark
it
clearly
and
store
it
in
a
dry
place.
Check
your
kit
regularly
and
replace
items
as
soon
as
possible
after
your
kit
has
been
used.
If
for
any
reason
you
carry
ointments,
creams,
aspirin,
paracetamol
etc
in
your
kit,
always
make
sure
that
they
are
in
date.
A
small
flashlight
or
pen
torch
that
can
fit
in
your
kit
can
be
worth
having
as
an
add-‐on.
For
your
car,
a
high
visibility
vest
is
a
good
purchase
and
should
be
kept
within
easy
reach.
The
ideal
place
is
under
your
seat.
A
current,
pocket
size
first-‐aid
book
is
also
worth
having
as
a
reference.

Training

you

first
aid
kits
and

required.
