How to Choose a Pre-Packed First Aid Kit.

There are, of course, a number of pre-packed kits and refills for sale. If you decide to go with a pre-stocked first aid kit, use the checklists above to access the quality of the kit. Choose a kit that that has all or most of these items included.

Office Safety Beyond First Aid Kits

There are additional steps you can take to improve the safety and preparedness of your office. While most first aid incidents in the office are not life threatening, heart attacks and strokes do cause serious medical emergencies in the workplace.  Consider keeping an Automated Eternal Defibrillator (AED) machine on site, and having at least one person in each department trained to use it. You should also consider having at least one employee in every department trained to administer CPR. The American Red Cross offers the training on using AED machines and on administering CPR. Making the investment could save lives.
