First Aid Kits - Reminder to check and replenish them

[JimB1]

We all have them in the shop at the very least and I know they are innocuous little boxes that we mainly ignore but I had to use some band aids and antiseptic swabs from the first aid kit on my motorcycle last week (a kid fell at my wife's company picnic, nothing serious) and I went out yesterday and got some stuff to replace them but I was amazed that out of 100+ people there, I was the only one with a first aid kit handy. I have them in my truck, on my bike, in my wife's car and in the shop, habits from when I was on the first aid squad a long time ago.

As I refilled the missing stuff and added a few new things to the kit on my bike and double checked the other kits, I figured it would be timely to put a little reminder out there to check your first aid kit regularly...

You never know when you'll need it.

I appreciate being reminded.  I have 5 first aid kits in various locations and I will check their contents ASAP.

This week I checked it five times, and left with a band aid each time....... sharp chisels and zobos  [blink]

By always carrying a single Band-Aid in his wallet, my father taught us the habit.  Not every scratch qualified so we also learned to "triage" our wounds.
