If your occupation requires you to face hazardous situations and perils which threaten your life, personal protective equipment (PPE) should be on your medical supplies list. Occupational and safety hazards are frequently faced by law enforcement, people involved in firefighting services, bomb disposal squads, and emergency medical services.
The following is a list of important PPE equipment one must have in a medical kit: Performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) can be a squeamish task for many. Rescue masks provide a barrier between victim and rescuer while performing mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. The NuMask Basic CPR Kit is a rescue mask, which rates high on safety and user-friendliness. It is impervious to weather changes, so you can count on it during rescue missions in cold or sub-zero temperature environments.
Other PPE equipment includes the MyClyns Personal Protection Spray and the P.A.W.S. - Personal Antimicrobial Wipes. The former can be used directly on face and open wounds that could have been exposed to pathogens. The germ-killing action present in this spray will discourage the wound from turning infectious. The latter consists of antimicrobial towelettes that kill almost all germs!
Gloves protect your hands from contact with potentially harmful bodily fluids. These gloves may be made from latex or neoprene. Tactical Defender Nitrile Gloves are thick enough for protection and have textured finger tips for better grip.
Objects striking the eye, contact with irritants and dangerous substances, and naked eye viewing of radiant energy sources can cause severe eye injuries. Use of eye washes is a treatment measure, while use of eye masks is a preventive measure.
It pays to carry along personal protective equipment (PPE) during the course of your occupational activities. You can count on PPE equipment for protection as well as treatment. Prepare for untoward medical emergencies by equipping yourself with these protective medical supplies.
