Emergency Response Essentials

There are many incidents each year in the work place that require immediate action. A first aider may need to respond before an ambulance can arrive. A CPR face shield can be used to stop the spread of infection during mouth to mouth resuscitation. Emergency blankets are an essential piece of kit to stop a patient's body temperature dropping by reflecting heat back on the patient, which can help prevent hypothermia in an emergency. Disposable emergency foil blankets are particularly efficient, allowing the body to retain over 90% of its heat.
