First Aid Suvival Kit Planning

By Tammie Caldwell


The matter of health care and safety is never a trendy issue especially when it comes to personal enjoyment or job related mishaps. The more quickly an injury receives the attention it needs, the better the chances of recovery and a fully prepared First Aid suvival kit offers this assurance. Let's consider a few situations where it is important to be ready for any occurrence.

Home is a place to relax and enjoy time with family and away from work. However, statistics indicates it is also where the greatest number of accidents occur. People clean out the gutters and fall off the ladders, decide to trim trees and end up breaking an arm as they land soundly on the ground. Even the kitchen is not safe from getting burned while cooking on the stove or roasting a ham in the oven.

Recently, the art of survival became more than a computer game with many people planning to go "Off Grid" and become wholly self-sufficient. Along with braving the elements to hike and camp in the wilderness, it is vital to have emergency medical supplies on hand. It could take days for rescue to arrive when the victim is at the bottom of a cliff hundreds of feet from the top.

Military injuries escalate to severe conditions, but not all soldier exercises are on the battlefield. Some people prefer using these kits as they offer additional equipment for more major issues. A gaping wound needs both a means of stopping the bleeding as well as keeping out insects and dirt and debris. A wide and strong adhesive tape comes in very handy.

Roadside emergencies happen when least expected and along with them a potential for injuries. Changing a tire, replacing a wiper blade and even cleaning off the mirrors are opportunities for scrapes and bruises. A fully stocked emergency kit not only includes flares for warning other motorists but also has a supply of bandages, adhesive tape and antiseptics.

The corporate world is not free from accidents, and their break rooms are often used as temporary infirmaries until the ambulance arrives. Even paper cuts lead to infection if not attended promptly. Bandages, alcohol, and other topical applications provide comfort and protection from future complications, and the employee is back on the job with little time lost.

Emergency situations happen everywhere, even at funerals and weddings. People faint, twist their ankles, and skin their knees when they miss one of the steps leading down out of the chapel. It is a good idea to have an emergency kit that prepared for everything from a bruised elbow to a finger cut. After all, brides and their party even rip off fingernails in the rush to make it down the aisle on time.

Band-aids, gauze, disinfectants and ointments are only a few of the items required in emergency situations, also included sufficient binding for splits and pressure bandages. When choosing the best ideas for any situation where time is crucial to the outcome of an accident, start by selecting a kit that covers the most situations with the least amount of bulk.
