01 First Aid First Aid The implementation of basic first aid is something that every employee and employer is accountable for. Whether you work alone or in a huge organisation, ensuring you and your staff are prepared to deal with an accident is key to the success and efficiency of any company. Workplace injuries caused by inefficient first aid procedures, (although still large in numbers) are currently seeing a decline. This is being contributed to the advancements in British legislation concerning the importance of first aid in working environments. With a plethora of information freely available, there is no excuse not to be compliant and with Towers vast array of high quality first aid products, it couldn’t be easier. Our comprehensive range of first aid supplies incorporates five key areas of supply; eye care, equipment, tablets and creams, bandages and dressings and first aid essentials. Successful eye care and the treatment of injuries is dependent on two factors; speed and equipment. Having the relevant treatment to hand can significantly increase the injured parties’ chance of recovery and reduce the likelihood of long term loss of vision. Standard advice from first aid authorities is that in the event of chemical exposure, the affected area should not be touched and the first action to take, is to bathe the eye. We provide a selection of individual eye washes as well as designated eye wash stations, designed to be installed at various hazard points in the work place, allowing every employee fast access to reliable treatment. Our selection of first aid equipment includes foil blankets, surgical blades and handles, syringes, scissors, vent aids and cold packs. All items are essential for the larger working environment and advised for the smaller ones. For those in the utilities industries where the handling of electricity makes you vulnerable to shocks, fits and cardiac arrest, a vent aid is a small device that when deployed allows for the easier CPR, with no risk of cross contamination. Especially useful if the cause of the cardiac arrest is not apparent. The tablets and creams section, refers to our range of products used to prevent, clean and relieve pain. This selection includes; paracetamol, disinfectant, cleaning fluid and antidote gel. The paracetamol is an essential for the increased productivity of workers as can help relieve the symptoms of distracting minor aches and pains, however accessibility should be limited to avoid misuse. We stock an extensive range of bandages and dressings, from swabs, plasters, steropore, eye pads, strapping, burn kits and finger bobs to our large and 100% compliant range of first aid kits. It’s essential when purchasing a first aid kit for your working environment to ensure you have the right size for the number of employees and environment. Our fifth area of supply is ‘first aid essentials’, this covers everything from tongue depressors to body fluid spill kits and is ideal for those in the medical profession and whose working environments require more specialised basic first aid equipment. Our mission is to supply everything you need to keep you and your colleague’s safe. With current research showing a huge number of work place related afflictions being caused by ineffective or late first aid attention, ensuring the right treatment is available to your work force is key.
