Must-Haves in Your Building’s First Aid Kit

3/14/2018 (Permalink)

Emergencies aren’t easy to think about. They aren’t something you hope to go through or want to subject your business to. Your commercial building should feel like a safe place. Safe or not, however, natural disasters can and often do occur. People can be injured or trapped within your building. Without an emergency first aid kit, your Spring Valley, CA business could find itself in trouble. Even in nonemergency situations, accidents do happen. With an emergency kit, you can help with small injuries. In case of emergency, here are some tips on how to handle first aid.

What To Include in Kit

The first aid kit is one of the single most important tools you can utilize during an emergency. Here is what professionals say you should include:

• Directions for emergency assistance
• Gauze pads
• Adhesive bandages
• Wound cleanser
• Tweezers
• Latex gloves
• Splint
• Adhesive tape
• Resuscitation bag or pocket mask
• Scissors

Remember while you can never overstock your emergency kit, you can understock it. Predicting the injuries that may occur can be difficult. However, it’s better to be prepared for everything rather than preparing for very little. Most of these items are easy to gather up and may even come in a readymade kit.

How To React to Situation

In any emergency, staying calm is always advantageous. If someone is hurt, your panic could lead to poor decision making and could inevitably frighten people. Productivity is easier when you’re relaxed. Being calm and rational could save you or another person.

The unthinkable can sometimes happen. It’s important to be prepared so that you can focus on the task at hand. Whether you had a flood or fire emergency, there will be cleanup to consider afterwards and professional services to call. However, in the meantime, if someone is injured in your building, you don’t want to be without the right tools. Even the smallest amount of comfort or assistance can matter.
