First Aid Equipment
A home First Aid Kit must contain the following items:
- Sterile triangular bandages
- Crepe or elasticated bandages
- Cotton wool
- Paper handkerchiefs
- Perforated film absorbent dressing (2 of each size)
- Strong plastic or metal box
- Calamine lotion or cream
- Adhesive dressing grip
- Plan bandages
- Finger-size tabular gauze with applicator
- Paracetamol or soluble aspirin
- Scissors, 5 inch, blunt pointed
- Safety pins
- Tweezers (Fine - pointed)
- White gauze (Sterile and Absorbent)
The home First Aid Kit should be stored in a strong, clearly marked box with a well fitting lid. The kit must be kept handy, but completely out of a child's reach. The contents must be refreshed regularly - dressing packs must be replaced once opened.
