As the experts in First Aid, St John makes it easy to be better prepared to respond to First Aid emergencies.

We recommend that you undertake an initial assessment of the safety risks in your environment to determine the first aid equipment and training you require. For example, if you have boiling hot water or chemicals that could cause burns, you should consider having a burns module in your first aid kit.

In workplaces, it is important to have first aid signage so that employees can easily find the first aid equipment. It is also important to have enough trained first aiders.
