About the WorldFirstAid Day

WorldFirstAid Day is observed on the second Saturday of September, every year. To raise public awareness of how first aid can save lives in everyday situations.

First Aid

First aid is the assistance given to an injured or sick person in need of urgent medical assistance. First aid applies to a broad range of medical situations and consists both of specific knowledge and skills (for example, what to do for each type of injury or illness) and the ability to assess a situation and make appropriate decisions (such as when to call for emergency medical assistance).

First Aid Kit

Preparedness is a key element of first aid. While every home, auto, and boat should be equipped with a basic emergency kit that includes first aid supplies and a first aid manual, special circumstances may necessitate more advanced or specific degrees of preparation for an emergency. For example, residents of certain geographic areas where natural disasters (such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tornados, floods, landslides, or tsunamis) may occur should prepare for emergencies by assembling disaster preparedness kits such as earthquake kits, flood kits, and evacuation kits.

First Aid Kit Usage Training helps workers to be prepared in advance in case of any emergency or injury.Why it's important to keep your First Aid Kit handy and your staff trained in First Aid, to be able to tackle in advance the potential accidents and injury before proper healthcare.We're never safe enough as we can't predict when and how the next accident will occur.But don't be Sorry, Be Safe.The best First Aid happens before the emergency even occurs. Being prepared with proper training and a good First Aid Kit is the most important step in first aid.

First Aid Kit Contents

Before deciding the contents of your first aid kit, list out all activities you commonly participate in. Do you go camping? Do you or any member of your family play contact sports? Are you on the road a lot? Is it for industrial use? How many people is the first aid kit for? It is very important that the first aid kit contents match up to your lifestyle or your workplace environment. Once you have a basic idea of where a first aid kit will come in handy, you can start planning the contents of your kit.

Many first aid kits attempt to sell a kit comprised of a box of adhesive bandages and a few tablets. How many different type of injuries will this kit treat? Not very many! Don't be fooled by quantity of components, look for variety of components! The idea is to include components for real life emergencies, not what might let the kit sell for a few dollars less.

Any first aid kit should contain at least something from the following groups:
Antiseptics (something to kill germs to prevent infection), Injury treatment
(items to deal with injuries such as butterfly closures and cold compresses),
Bandages (a variety of bandages to dress and cover a variety of wounds),
Instruments (tweezers, barrier gloves), and Medicines.
