What's Your Question?

How to Make a First Aid Kit

First aid kits come in different sizes, for different purposes and the contents of a first aid kit may be adjusted for specific activities, according to the Red Cross. Consider packing a first aid kit to keep in your car, your home or your work space.

Choose a Container to Hold Your First Aid Kit

Before you begin gathering the items needed in a first aid kit, consider where you plan to put it between uses. For example, if it’s going in your car’s glove box, you will need a much smaller case or bag to hold your first aid supplies than you would need if they’re going in the trunk or on a shelf in your closet. Plastic storage bins, backpacks and zippered tote bags are all items that are suitable for use as a first aid kit.

Pain Relievers to Include in a First Aid Kit

Pain relievers are some common items for a first aid kit. Packets of aspirin are a common recommendation, and other pain relievers your family typically uses, such as ibuprofen, antidiarrheal medications and allergy medications, can also be included. Pain-relieving gels for dental injuries may also be useful in an emergency kit. A space blanket is also recommended for emergency kits, because the design ensures it doesn’t take up a lot of space in your kit, according to the Red Cross.

Supplies for Covering Wounds

Wound covering supplies are among the most basic first aid kit contents. Include adhesive bandages of different sizes, sterile pads of different sizes, medical-grade adhesive tape and an elastic bandage, according to Kids Health. Roller bandages and compress dressing are also useful, and butterfly bandages don’t take up much space and are useful for closing cut skin.

Useful Emergency Kit Supplies

In addition to the basics that make up the first aid kit requirements, such as bandages, pain relievers and antibiotic creams, there are some other useful items that should be in a first aid kit if space allows, according to the Red Cross. Things like scissors to cut bandages and tweezers to pick things out of wounds are useful. A flashlight and a non-mercury thermometer are helpful additions to a kit. Also consider adding latex gloves and a breathing barrier.

Medications and Phone Numbers

Along with a summary of first aid kit instructions that tell people how to use the emergency supplies, include any medications you or a family member take under a doctor’s prescription, according to the Red Cross. Also include a written list of emergency phone numbers. That way, the person administering first aid is under intense stress, all the information required will be handy and help can be called as quickly as possible.

Does This Course Allow Me to Become a Qualified First-Aider?

If you are looking to become a qualified first aider, then you'll need to undertake practical training. Guidance on choosing a provider for this can be found online: www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/geis3.htm

First Aid Online Classes

Learn first aid online, on your schedule. When you take an online first aid class from the American Red Cross, you can learn the latest skills and techniques for administering care – in a way that won't disrupt your day. Taken entirely online, these courses do not include the opportunity for you to demonstrate skill proficiency to a certified instructor, and therefore may not meet requirements for workplace safety certification. If you must complete a first aid class that allows you to do so, browse our blended Simulation Learning and classroom-based courses.

How Online First Aid Classes Work

Designed for parents and teachers, adults and teenagers, troop leaders, coaches, and more, our online first aid courses allow you to help those in crisis receive care until medical professionals arrive. In order to make learning proper first aid techniques possible, we've developed online courses that can help you help others in their time of need.

To get started, all you need to do is register for a course, then access the materials on a compatible device. (Please read the course description for additional details on compatible devices and/or web browsers.) Once you've registered for a class, you can begin the coursework at any time.

For additional flexibility, we’ve designed all American Red Cross first aid online safety courses with highly interactive modules, which you can take in virtually any order. This way, you can truly learn your way. Plus, with unlimited two-year access to the course materials, you can take your time getting through class, or complete all of the modules all at once, then revisit the materials and refresh your skills as needed.

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a lifesaving technique useful in many emergencies, including heart attack or near drowning, in which someone’s breathing or heartbeat has stopped.

Awesome! Glad you found the courses useful 😀

Hi there Mr. First. I already downloaded my CPR certificate but the school I work for says it needs an expiration date in order for it to be valid, at least for them. At first they said any website is fine, including this free one, but now they are saying they need an expiration date to validate it. Is there any way you can help me? I know most of them expire in two years but they insist that the date be printed on there. I thank you in advance. -Francisco

As there is no skills assessment our certificate does not have an expiry date. We would suggest reviewing the material every year.

Thanks, John & the team

*Furst. My phone autocorrected this thinking it was wrong.

As a veteran of the armed forces, we learn a lot of first aid techniques that focus more on hemorrhaging, fractures, so forth.

An acronym that stuck with me is “Really Bad Boys Should Find Better Habits” R: Responsiveness – B: Breathing – B: Bleeding – S: Shock – F: Fracture – H: Head Injury

Anyway, im working in a security company now and wanted some kind of certification in regards to the civilian approach of First Aid (Military equivalent is called CLS [Combat Life Savior]).Going through the program (Basic and Advanced First Aid at the moment) I found myself where I learned quite a bit. Could definitely use what I learned here and continue on what I learned from the past in my CLS training.

Medical, First Aid, Responders, and etc. has always been one of my top listed things that everyone should know. My presedence of situational assesment is “Life, Limb, and Property” in that order. Anyway, that doesn’t really matter and I’m ranting.

What i mean to say, in short. I wanted a generic certificate for the resume, but turns out i’ve learned a lot more than anticipated due to the level of “People Care” implemented into the program.

Thank you for setting this all up for the rest of us.

Brilliant refresher and more thank you so helpful x

A good detailed refresher for me. One comment I would like to make is that the certificate to look more official with your signature and a mark of official creditation which I think it is worthy of. I have done various first aid at work courses since 2000 and this was well detailed and covered everything you need to know to be able to respond in an emergency.

i didn’t receive any link to download my certificate,i have checked spam and trash folder.i have competed all the module and units and green ticks appeared next to each unit.please help. thank you, Najir Hussain

If you continue to have problems please reply and we will do our best to help

Hello, course developer . Thanks for your effort. I really enjoyed and found the course very useful. But I am confused about wasp sting . Normally wasps won’t leave their stings . So you may be referring to honey bees who always leaves theirs stings

You have made the term KISS (Keep it simple, Stupid) materialized in this course. God Bless you mate. Solid simple materials.. better than being too scholarly or having Scholastic articles that confuses people more.. this is the best. Kinda sad that this is not accredited.. why not make a premium package learning account for the ones people can get certified online.. I’m sure people will pay for it if its worthy? now that MOOC’s culture is everywhere.. but hey, its just a thought… thanks again man.

Glad you enjoyed our free courses! We have designed them to be easy and accessible for all 🙂

Thanks for your feedback John & the team

Thank you so very much for this resource! I am still on an official waiting list after 4 years at the same workplace to do first aid training despite my eagerness to learn. I found this really helpful and I’m learning a lot!

Hi there, glad you found our free courses useful! 🙂

thank you for the first aid classes it really helps i will be doing all of the classes and will pass on the url to everyone to get first aid training thank you so much john

I Thoroughly enjoyed doing the Basic First aid course and like most have said everyone should do this as i highly recommend it,and thank you so much as I’m not an academic person,but its obvious I’ve learnt and studied to achieved this basic course and I’m seriously going to consider do other courses so thank you again

Thankyou so much for offering us these courses. As a grandmother to my one year old grandson, I was concerned about not knowing what to do if his life was in danger. He keeps putting things in his mouth so I wanted to know how to help him in the event of an emergency. My friends who are foster parents had to learn First Aid and CPR. I wonder why it isn’t mandatory for everyone and all parents. This information was so useful! As a parent I probably should have learned this stuff too. Thank you again, you have helped us all immensely!!
