Include first aid kit refills with office and school necessities

A well-stocked case of first aid kit supplies can help increase response time if someone gets hurt or sick at work. There are a variety of medical boxes to fit size and space needs, including plastic, metal, wall mounted, and ones that open up to form makeshift shelves. Meeting OSHA and ANSI Class A and B regulations, kits typically hold 50 to over 200 pieces, which are intended to treat 10 to 100 people. Refills generally consist of frequently used items, such as medical tape, variously sized bandages, insect sting/bite and antibiotic ointment packets, burn cream, and antiseptic wipes. In addition to being practical and essential for the office, these first aid kit refills are also beneficial to classrooms.

First aid kit supplies are essential for travel

Remember to include a travel first aid kit with refills when on a business or school trip, or participating in an outdoor community event. The weatherproof/waterproof cases fit inside backpacks and luggage, and some are small enough to store in glove compartments. They also tend to include mini first aid handbooks, so users can quickly reference treatment directions. Another consideration is first aid fanny packs filled with alcohol pads, disposable gloves, gauze, wound care supplies, tweezers, and scissors.

Carry cases are ideal options for mobile health clinics and medical personnel who are often out in the field. Refill packs are available for sanitizers, hydrocortisone creams, burn sprays, eye washes, and several other critical injury and accident care supplies. This allows for quicker reaction times and fewer moments lost trying to find important first aid items.

Periodically check cases to see when first aid kit refills are necessary. Make sure that there are enough adhesive bandages, bulk disposable CPR masks, and eye care pads.
