为了在突发情况下能及时进行急救,每个家庭都应该准备一个急救箱。 急救箱的准备并不复杂,一起来看看本文中的建议吧!

Emergencies can happen anytime, so being prepared for a home first aid kit (急救箱) is important for your family. Having a proper one in your home is an easy but necessary part of good emergency preparation.

Pick a good container

One good choice is a large transparent plastic container, which makes it easy to see the materials inside. Lunchboxes are also another good choice. Basically, if it's big enough, and at least somewhat water resistant, it can make a good container. Regardless of your container choice, it should be easy to recognize,so write “FIRST AID” on it with a marker.

Teach your family about the kit

For younger children who shouldn't use the items in the kit, teach them where it's located, so they could show a visitor, relative or babysitter. For older children and adults, instruct them on how to use the items in it. Use a first aid instruction booklet for guidance and place a booklet in the kit for reference.

Keep your kit up-to-date

No one wants to fetch a first aid kit and find the bandage box empty or the pain relievers expired(过期的). Keep track of supply amounts and expiration dates regularly. Create a checklist in the kit.Record every item on a sheet of paper and keep it in the kit. Besides, record the amounts of the items and expiration dates next to the listed items on the checklist that you include in your kit. In this way,anyone who wants to reach the kit can immediately know what it includes and doesn't include. Also,they can be clear whether the items can be used.
