SECTION XVIX
YOUR FIRST AID KIT
Everyone should have a well-stocked
first aid kit handy at home,
in the car and in the workplace.
The contents of your kit
will vary depending upon
the number of people it
is designed to protect as
well as special circumstances
where it will be used.
For example, a first aid kit
in a factory where there may
be danger of flying debris
getting into the eye should
certainly have a sterile eyewash
solution in its kit.
If a family member is a known
diabetic, your kit at home should
have a glucose or sugar solution.
When assembling your first aid kit,
whether for use in the home, car
or at work, you should consider
possible injuries you are likely to encounter
and then select kit contents to
treat those conditions.
It's also important to check your kit
periodically to restock items
that have been used
and to replace items that
are out-of-date.
It's also advisable at home
and at work to have both a stationary
kit, stored in a cabinet
or drawer, as well as a compact portable
kit that can be taken quickly
to the site of an emergency.
