Whether you like it or not, accidents happen and when they do no doubt you will need a first aid kit. It is an essential item for any medical crisis or even just for a child's skinned knee. Having everything conveniently available to you is a must, when you are trying to deal with the emergency. Actually being able to locate it is not only helpful to dealing with the injury quickly but also relieves a lot of additional stress you may have otherwise without it. When an accident happens, you will not want to be digging through drawers looking for items that you need. You should always be organized and have everything you need in one accessible area like a first aid kit.
We have outlined below five essential qualities that you should look for in a great first aid kit.
1. Emergency Handbook – All great first aid kits have informative reference guides to outline helpful tips of what to do within the first few minutes of a sudden illness or accident as well as other helpful information you may need to treat a wound. This is essential, because sometimes in a high stress situation you may forget what to do.
2. Clear Labels on all items – Everything in your first aid kit should have clear accurate label so that it can be easily read quickly in case of emergency. Remember, some injuries could happen during a power outage, camping, car accident, etc where you may not have a lot of light or clear vision so having everything clearly labeled is important.
3. Organization – A great first aid kit will have several small pockets inside to easily keep things organized and not just all piled together. You do not want to have to dump the contents of a first aid kit out to sort through the items to find what you are looking for.
4. Practical – Your first aid kit should be large enough to hold all of the essential things that a correct first aid kit would contain, yet small enough to be practical to hang from your backpack or belt loop when participating in events such as hiking.
5. Durability – Your first aid kit must be durable in order to be valued as reliable as well as water resistant. Many people use their first aid kit when hiking, camping, etc so it must be able to at least stand up to a bit of rain in order to efficiently maintain the integrity of the contents.
I know that many people do not think about how valuable a first aid kit really is until they need one. A First Aid kit is a "must have" in every home, especially a home with children, your car, boat and even if you work kit. The first aid kit is ideal as it keeps everything organized in one convenient place instead of searching through cupboards to find items, only to discover you're out of something. Additionally, the first aid kit keeps items in a secure package that small children cannot get to if stored in a proper place. It is smart to keep one in your car in case of emergency and always take one with you camping or participating in sports. First aid kits are just a smart investment to make for your health and safety and when doing so, take the time to make sure that it contains all of the qualities to make it completely reliable and worth having.
