Parish first aid kit


Any suggestions what to include in our parish first-aid kit? Pocket Mask is a given. Non water based cleaner/wipes and gloves. I assume an assortment of band-aids. We are in town and have access to 911.

Smile What is the purpose of the kit?
ivy's mom, could I ask what the purpose of the kit is for? You are calling it a "parish first-aid kit." Is it for use just in your church? Or for several churches? Or for certain functions? That would determine what to include in the kit.

We have just a basic first aid kit bought from a discount store for our church, and keep it filled as supplies run out. Because of liability issues, the decision was made not to get into areas outside of basic first aid at this time. We may look at that again later on. ReitredMSN

Default Parish first-aid kit
Thanks for your thoughts. We are just a small church, and need a basic kit for knife cuts in the kitchen, skinned knees, etc. The church is used for lots of functions from the usual Bible study, to support groups after gastric bypass and our local food bank. I think I was thinking too much about it. After putting together a Girl Scout First Aid kit that we toted around for years, I was wondering what other thoughts were on the subject. Thanks again for your input.
