Kit list
Home first aid kit checklist
A kit everyone in the home can find, not locked away. Check it twice a year, and take a certified first aid class so you know how to use it.
Where it lives: a labeled box or bag in a known, unlocked place. The reasons behind each item are in what to put in a home first aid kit; every skill is on the master list, and the guides show where each kit fits.
