How to Install Your First Aid Material in a Childcare Setting

For maximum safety, the installation of your rescue kit must follow strict accessibility rules. Mount the case on a wall at a height out of children's reach, but easily accessible for adults (approximately 1.5 to 1.7 meters). Choose a central, well-lit location known to all educational staff. It is recommended to identify the location with a "First Aid" signage poster and ensure that the access path always remains clear for immediate intervention.

How to Maintain Your Professional Rescue Equipment for CPE

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure your kit is ready for use. Perform a monthly visual inspection to verify that sterile seals are intact and the content is complete. Systematically check the expiration dates of antiseptic products and replace them before they expire. After each use, take inventory and replace any missing items. Keep the case clean by wiping it with a mild disinfectant to prevent the spread of germs in the childcare environment.

User Tips for Caring for Young Children

In the event of an incident, stay calm to avoid frightening the child. Put on nitrile gloves before intervening. For a scratch, gently clean the wound with an antiseptic wipe before applying a bandage. For a more significant injury, use the pressure bandages to stabilize the situation while waiting for emergency services. Always consult the included first aid guide to follow recommended procedures. When going to the park, remember to take the kit with you to be ready to intervene at all times.
