FIRST AID

 

Accidents happen. Whether at work or at the ballfield people get hurt.  What do you do when someone chokes on an ice cube or gets stung by a bee?  It is important to know when to call 9-1-1 -- it is for life-threatening emergencies. While waiting for help to arrive, you may be able to save someone's life.

 

It is important to have a first aid kit available. Having multiple kits, ready to go is the key to being prepared for a First Aid emergency.  We recommend keeping one at home and one in your car. It should also include a first-aid guide. Review the guide to learn how to use the items, so you are ready in case an emergency happens.
