1) Keep a first aid kit in your home and in your car.
2) Carry a first aid kit with you or know where you can find one.
3) Find out the location of first aid kits where you work.
Whether you buy a first aid kit or put one together, make sure it has all the items you may need:
Include any personal items such as medications and emergency phone numbers or other items your health-care provider may suggest.
Check the kit regularly.
Make sure the flashlight batteries work.
Check expiration dates and replace any used or out-of-date contents.
