first aid

[suave]

how many you guys have a first aid kit in your van?tell the truth now!

 

[mikethetile]

Yes
its a legal requirement under H&S to have a kit on every job

 

[DHTiling]

Yep i do...

Bottle of pop to wash eyes out... and insulating tape for plasters.....what more do you need.?:smilewinkgrin:

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

i have a bag that i take away from home when i work away that has everything in it!!!:8:

 

[doug boardley]

I have a basic one, plasters, eye wash etc

 

[Rich]

Wev got a 'full' one on board but I keep meaning to get an eye bath. Kick myself everytime i get a bit of tile in my eye (most days:incazzato🙂.

 

[jamie B]

I have one..but I dread to think what's actually left in it these days.
the only thing I replace are eyedrops! I seem to always end up using electrical tape to re- attach fingers/limbs etc..it's every other trade that seems to use my plasters!:lol:

 

[faithhealer]

yup carry odds and sods, note to self, buy another box of plasters, I was using insulation tape myself today

It sticks better than plasters and comes in longer lengths..:lol:

 

[doug boardley]

aren't those individually packaged plasters a pain in the bum to unwrap! and even then they don't stick! I have a roll of that fabric stuff that you rip off with your teeth when you've wound it round your scratched finger a few times:lol:

i find for the deep cuts mitre mate works very well (if you can nick it of the kitchen fitters) failing that a good dob of rapidset (preferably flexi) and some gaffer/electrical tape...A & E is overrated ha ha ha!:smilewinkgrin:

 

[jamie B]

more to the point who carries hand cream for the winter finger 'splits' you get when using dust/doing floors??....I'm paying boot's wages I reckon with that stuff....and nothing heals them quickly does it?

 

[Sean fsy]

Prevention is better than the cure i find.

 

[jamie B]

I really don't know how the get so bad so quickly..I'm a glove wearer, but it seem when the tempratures down I only have to look at a bag of adhesive and my bang..finger splits. I actually went to the doctor years ago about getting dermatitis and his advice was to get a different job:lol: I seem to get either cracked skin from exposed hands or dermatitis from gloves..damned if you do..damned if you dont!

 

[White Room]

A bog standard first aid kit.

 

[kickkick]

I brought a new first aid kit a few weeks ago to stick under the seat in the van. I a really a good one for under £10 from the local pharmacy.

It such a little amount of money to spend on such an important item, which will last for many many years.

 

[Alan.P]

Yep, I carry one, I'm also a first aider, 5 day St John ambulance, must remember to do the refresher soon

 

[Richardk]

I carry a small kit, mainly plasters for those irritating cuts.

 

[CDS]

Yep got a small kit that sits in the van. Used it for the first time and the plasters were all knackered - the sticky came off with the packaging.... been using insulation tape ever since...

 

[TheWrightTiler]
