Guest Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 HI The advice on this one varies immensly, in ours (from memory) we have Blue plasters (for staff) three triangular bandages (these have the ability to be used for a million and one uses, (a very valuable resource in first aid box) a couple of normal bandages Gloves micropore tape and melolin dressings we have normal plasters but i don't actually think we are able to use them (although the first aider that did my course adviced us to use them if necessary) we don't ahve antiseptic wipes, we just wipe cuts with clean paper towel (or flush cut under running water) we are a 42 place day nursery and to be honest we hardly ever need to use our first aid box, most accidents are delat with sufficiently with cold compress, and of cours cuddles Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_4544 Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 http://www.teachernet.gov.uk/_doc/4421/GFA...ce%20schools%22 The DFEE guidance on first aid says minimum provision of first-aid items would be: a leaflet giving general advice on first aid (see list of publications in Annex A); 20 individually wrapped sterile adhesive dressings two sterile eye pads; four individually wrapped triangular bandages (preferably sterile); six safety pins; six medium sized (approximately 12cm x 12cm) individually wrapped sterile unmedicated wound dressings; two large (approximately 18cm x 18cm) sterile individually wrapped unmedicated wound dressings; one pair of disposable gloves.

Guest Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 We had the above as per Marion but also the following: A Resusciade (for mouth to mouth) A roll of non-allergenic adhesive tape (micropore to hold dressings in place) 2 crepe bandages (large and small) 2 conforming bandages (large and small) A pack of sterile gauze A pair sharp scissors A pair of tweezers Notepad and pencil Contents check list We needed quite a big box for this. We also kept a compact kit in a bum bag for outings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
