COURSE TRANSCRIPT

Before we move on to the specific treatments and procedures, let’s have a quick look at a first aider’s essential tool – the first aid kit.

Different industries, different jobs and different hazards can all lead to different injuries and it’s these injuries that guide the selection of items in your first aid kit. This is why there is no mandatory list of items that a first aid kit should contain. However, the following would be considered a good general selection of items for a low-hazard workplace:

20 individually wrapped sterile plasters in assorted sizes appropriate to the type of work, including hypoallergenic plasters if necessary.
Two sterile eye pads
Two individually wrapped triangular bandages, preferably sterile
Two individually wrapped roller bandages, preferably sterile
Two large sterile individually wrapped unmedicated wound dressings
Six medium-sized sterile individually wrapped unmedicated wound dressings
Six safety pins, and
At least 3 pairs of disposable gloves

First aid kits should NOT contain any tablets or medicines.

Use-by dates should be regularly checked and any items which have reached their expiry dates must be carefully and safely disposed of.

And, don’t forget to replace any items you use or throw away.
