8 Reasons to have a First Aid Kit everywhere you go

“Most people will buy a first aid kit or a burn kit after the incident has already occurred. Accidents don’t only happen to other people, they happen to everyone.” – Joel Levy (MD of Levtrade).

We hear stories all the time about people who get injured and didn’t have a first aid kit.  We believe so strongly about this issue so we’ve raised 8 great reasons why you need a first aid kit:

  1. Response when there is no responder – There is never a good place to get hurt but when help is out of reach, a first aid kit is your next best friend.  You can’t always count on others to help so be prepared.
  2. We only have so much blood – Scary but true.  If your injury involves major blood-loss, you only have precious minutes to get the necessary supplies to stop the bleeding. Keeping a first aid kit close by can provide the extra time you need to seek help.
  3. Kids will be kids – You can count on kids getting hurt.  Lack of experience or just plain recklessness all add up to someone getting hurt.  Cuts, scrapes and burns are common injuries to expect so prepare a first aid kit with the appropriate supplies.
  4. Protect your employees or people you care about – When an injury occurs, a stocked first aid kit can save someone’s life.  Think about others who are risking injury while on the job and do the right thing.  Let everyone know you have a stocked first aid kit ready to use and tell them where it is in case an accident occurs.
  5. Accidents are unexpected – Being prepared can reduce panic and provide the necessary aid.  Always check your inventory monthly to make sure your first aid kit is ready to use when the unexpected takes place.
  6. Time is of the essence –  A first aid kit is just that; “First Aid”.  Having one ready provides temporary aid until you can get help.  No kit means no immediate help.
  7. Small injuries can become big injuries – The longer you wait for treatment, the more severe your injury can become.  Immediate treatment can reduce risk of infection.
  8. Peace of mind – Being prepared, doing the right thing and even being able to help others when injury occurs is reason enough to want a first aid kit close by.
