WHERE SHOULD I STORE MY
FIRST AID KIT?
Your kit should be easy to find. But it should be kept in a high, childproof
cabinet, far away from kids’ prying fingers.
Keep one full-sized kit in a central spot at home, such as your kitchen or
bathroom.
Then put a smaller kit in your car or purse for when you’re on the road.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I
CHECK MY FIRST AID KIT?
DO I NEED TO BANDAGE A
CUT OR SCRAPE?
You don’t need to bandage every cut and
scrape. Some heal more quickly when left
uncovered to stay dry. But if the cut is on a part
of the body that might get dirty or rub against
clothes, put on a bandage to protect it.
Change the bandage every day or whenever
it gets wet or dirty.

SCRAPE BE COVERED?
