First aid kits/supplies

As is often shown in the news, personal hygiene is a really important part of daily life be it from washing both your hands after using the lavatory or coming into contact with raw meat or poultry always be sure that cuts are cleaned, and properly dressed so as to prevent infection. One way to be sure that the latter is definitely possible in almost any eventuality is to keep a completely stocked emergency first aid kit which can be easily accessed when needed.



There is a wide selection of first aid kits available on the open market, from your 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 requirements of 10, 20 and even 50 people that comply with all of the most up to date health and safety regulations. However, because possessing a poorly stocked emergency first aid kit can be ultimately as bad as not having one at all, it is vital to replace any stock that has been used. This is why, it is possible to buy refill packs that include all of the necessary items such as plasters, dressings of varied lengths and sizes, disinfectant wipes, bandages, eyepads, safety pins and latex gloves. If however, one particular item becomes necessary, it is 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 may not be typically a part of first aid kits, such as eyewash stations and first aid signs. In such cases there are numerous online suppliers who are able to provide such items among others allowing these firms to stick to health and safety guidelines.



It should be noted, however, that these suppliers do not only supply to businesses since they in addition provide first aid kits and some other items specifically for sports teams including additional items that include cold/hot packs plus emergency foil blankets.
