Start with the essentials

Choose supplies for minor injuries and keep them in a clean, dry, accessible container. Store the kit safely away from children. A motorcycle box may become very hot, so check storage conditions before leaving medical products inside it.

What you can do

  1. Include sterile dressings, adhesive plasters, disposable gloves and other supplies recommended in local first-aid training.
  2. Check seals and expiry dates regularly and replace used items.
  3. Keep emergency contacts with the kit and learn how to call for help.

Keep in mind

A kit does not replace emergency care. Serious bleeding, unconsciousness, breathing difficulty or a major injury needs urgent professional help.
