Keeping a well-stocked first-aid kit in your home and car will ensure that you are prepared in case of an emergency. Below is a list of items you should have in yours.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"\"Accidents can happen either in the home or while you are travelling in your car. Having a first-aid kit on hand is useful for handling small cuts, bumps, bruises, bites, stings and other small injuries.<\/p>\n

PLAN WHAT YOU NEED<\/strong>
\nBefore putting together your first-aid kit, make a list of the possible risks and hazards that could occur for you, your spouse and anyone else who lives with you.<\/p>\n

Aside from common injuries, you should also be prepared for medical conditions family members suffer from that may lead to a life-threatening situation. For example, if one of you is asthmatic, your first-aid kit should include an inhaler, Epi-pen or other allergy medications that they may need.<\/p>\n

KEEP IT ORGANISED <\/strong>
\nYour first-aid kit should be organised in such a way that anyone who opens it can easily find what they need. This is especially important as a person who requires a first-aid kit is likely to be in the middle of an issue, and \u2014 depending on the severity of the situation \u2014 may be in a state of panic. Choose a bag or pouch with separate compartments so you can store related items together such as plasters, bandages and dressings. Label the items clearly.<\/p>\n

When it comes to your car, store your first-aid kit in an area that stays relatively cool since heat and sunlight can degrade certain products, such as medicated creams and ointments.<\/p>\n

\"\"WHEN TO SEEK HELP<\/strong>
\nFirst-aid kits are meant to help manage an injury or other medical issue that doesn\u2019t require urgent treatment. When you are faced with a serious problem, such as a wound that won\u2019t stop bleeding or a blow to the head, you should visit the emergency department of your nearest hospital.<\/p>\n
