Keep well stocked first aid kits in your home, vehicle(s) and workplace. Ready-made first aid kits can be purchased from a range of suppliers.

A well-stocked first aid kit should include:

• • disposable gloves
  • resuscitation face shield or mask
  • dressings; a range of non-adherent and gauze dressings and adhesive strips
  • bandages; a range of conforming and crepe roller bandages, triangular bandages and eye pads
  • hypoallergenic tape, a pair of scissors, tweezers and safety pins
  • alfoil rescue blanket
  • safety glasses
  • pen and note pad.

Do not keep medicines or liquids in the first aid kit. All kits should be kept in a safe, secure place out of reach of children.
