First aid kits/supplies

As it is often shown in the media, personal hygiene is a really important part of everyday life be it from washing your hands after going to the lavatory or coming into contact with raw meat or poultry always make sure that cuts are cleaned, and properly dressed to be able to prevent infection. One way to make sure the latter is always possible in almost any eventuality is to have a completely stocked emergency first aid kit which can be easily accessed when required.



You will find there's a wide array of first aid kits on the open market, from your small basic one person sets offered by most hiking shops and pharmacists to the St John’s Ambulance selection with enough supplies to satisfy the needs of 10, 20 and even 50 people all of which adhere to the most up to date safety and health regulations. However, because having a poorly stocked first aid kit may be almost as bad as not having one at all, it is vital to replenish any stock that has been used. This is why, it is possible to buy refill packs which include all of the necessary items which include plasters, dressings of varied lengths and sizes, disinfectant wipes, bandages, eyepads, safety pins and latex gloves. However if, just one particular item becomes necessary, it's possible to get a range of them individually without the need to splash out on a complete refill set.



However, some businesses might require hygiene and health and safety goods that will not be typically a part of first aid kits, for instance eyewash stations and first aid signs. In such cases there are a lot of online first aid kit supplies providers who can provide you with such items and others permitting these firms to stick to health and safety guidelines.



It should be noted, however, that these suppliers dont only cater for businesses as they also provide first aid kits and some other items especially for sports teams which include additional items such as cold/hot packs and emergency foil blankets.
