As is often shown in the media, personal hygiene is a very important part of everyday life be it from washing your hands after using the toilet or touching raw meat always ensure that cuts are cleaned, and properly dressed so as to prevent infection. One way to ensure that the latter is always possible in any eventuality is to keep a fully stocked first aid kit which can be easily accessed when required.
There is a wide selection of first aid supplies available on the open market, from the small basic one person sets available from most hiking shops and pharmacists to the St John’s Ambulance selection with enough supplies to meet the needs of 10, 20 and even 50 people all of which comply with the most up to date health and safety regulations. However, because having a poorly stocked first aid kit can be almost as bad as not having one at all, it is important to replenish any stock that is used. For this reason, it is possible to buy refill packs which include all the necessary items such as plasters, dressings of various lengths and sizes, disinfectant wipes, bandages, eyepads, safety pins and latex gloves. If however, one particular item is required, it is possible to buy a set of them individually without the need to splash out on a whole refill set.
However, some businesses may require hygiene and health and safety items that are not typically included in first aid kits, such as eyewash stations and first aid signs. In such cases there are many online suppliers who are able to provide such items and others to allow these firms to adhere to health and safety guidelines.
It must be noted, however, that these suppliers do not only cater for businesses as they also provide first aid kits and additional items specifically for sports teams which include additional items such as hot/cold packs and emergency foil blankets.
