Why First Aid Matters

Every environment calls for a different type of first aid box, from basic kits to heavy-duty medical kits. Attaining the proper first aid kit for the home, workspace, or travel bag is an important step in keeping people safe. Having a first aid kit ready allows people to promptly and efficiently deal with injuries or harm before a trained medical professional arrives to administer more specialized treatment. In many cases, this can have an important impact on the situation. Staying prepared for a wide range of situations isn't just important, it's often required by OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration).
