No one can predict when an accident will occur, but being prepared can mitigate the impact. A well-stocked first aid kit is your first line of defence in minor emergencies. For anyone living in New Zealand, having an appropriate first aid kit is crucial due to the diverse outdoor activities and unique geographical conditions that influence our recreational and professional activities.
From hikes in the stunning landscapes to beach outings, a comprehensive first aid kit is your safety net, allowing you to respond promptly to injuries until professional medical help arrives.
When it comes to your family's safety, we think the best first aid kit for home is either our Happy Family First Aid Kit or our Home Workshop First Aid Kit. The Happy Family First Aid Kit has been designed to cater to all those injuries that are likely to occur with kids while the Home Workshop first aid kit is more geared toward the home handyman.
If you are seeking a good first aid kit for the home, look for a product that includes bandages, antiseptic wipes, adhesive tape, and scissors. Additionally, opt for kits with a variety of dressings to handle different wounds effectively.
Consider storing the kit in a visible and easily accessible location, ensuring everyone in the household knows its whereabouts.
If you're an outdoor enthusiast, you’ll likely be seeking a compactly designed lightweight first aid kit like our Leisure, Hiking, Camping, Cycling Hanging First Aid Kit.
Designed to withstand rugged conditions, these kits are compact, fitting comfortably in your backpack or able to hang accessibly from the side. Look for options that include blister treatment, insect repellent, and pain relief medications.
Whether you're exploring New Zealand's wilderness or enjoying a beach day, choose a first aid kit that ensures you're prepared for any situation.
Managing a business or commercial space comes with a responsibility to prioritise safety. A commercial first aid kit should adhere to industry standards and regulations, ensuring you meet legal requirements.
These kits are equipped to handle a higher number of individuals, making them suitable for all sorts of working environments such as offices, factories, kitchens and public spaces.
Stock up on items like eyewash solutions, CPR face shields, and burn dressings to address workplace emergencies effectively. We stock a wide range of workplace first aid kits to suit almost every scenario.
In a country known for its changeable weather, a waterproof first aid kit can be indispensable. These kits are designed to protect contents from moisture, making them ideal for camping trips, boat rides, or beach outings.
Look for options with resealable bags, waterproof pouches, and sealed compartments to keep supplies dry and intact. Try our Workplace First Aid Kit in a Watertight box for a comprehensive water proof option.
For easy access and visibility, consider a wall-mounted first aid kit for your home or workplace. These kits can be securely attached to walls, ensuring everyone knows where to find essential supplies in case of an emergency.
Wall-mounted kits often come with clear compartments, allowing you to quickly identify and retrieve the necessary items.
Our options include (but are not limited to) what we like to call “snatch and Grab” options, where the kit is mounted to a wall when not in use, but can be quickly detached when needed in an emergency, our landscape heavy duty metal cabinet options and our heavy duty industrial metal portrait cabinet options.
No matter which type of first aid kit you choose, certain essential supplies should always be included. These items form the backbone of any kit and can be invaluable in treating minor injuries:
