As popularly said by trainer Akpan and Faruk as a greeting slogan
We the Corp members of the National youth Service Corp (NYSC) Shagamu Ogun state Batch A Stream II wishes to appreciate NYSC and the Ogun state Red Cross Team for the training and knowledge passed down.
WE CAN PROUDLY SAY THAT
- *We can do CPR to unconscious casualties
- *Handle Emergency situations
- *Manage crisis and accident scene
- As we were taught that in such situations
- we must always look out for three (3) things
- *Ourselves: to avoid being robbed or infected and attacked
- *Our casualties: know who has a higher probability of survival and to stop all bleeding and place casualties in recovery position and
- * Bystanders: who may be affected by shock
BEFORE YOU CAN MANAGE YOU CASUALTY YOU MUST ENSURE YOU IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND LET THOSE AROUND KNOW WHAT YOU ARE ABOUT TO DO ELSE YOU MIGHT BE MISUNDERSTOOD

A first aid kit is a collection of supplies and equipment that is used to give medical treatment. It is also a small box containing items such as bandages, plasters, and antiseptic wipes for use in giving help to a sick or injured person until full medical treatment is available. There is a wide variation in the contents of first aid kits based on the knowledge and experience of those putting it together, the differing first aid requirements of the area where it may be used and variations in legislation or regulation in a given area.
The international standard for first aid kits is that they should be identified with the ISO (INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF STANDARDIZATION) graphical symbol for first aid which is an equal white cross on a green background, although many kits do not comply with this standard, either because they are put together by an individual or they predate the standards.
First aid kits can be assembled in almost any type of container, and this will depend on whether they are commercially produced or assembled by an individual. Standard kits often come in durable plastic boxes, fabric pouches or in wall mounted cabinets. The type of container will vary depending on purpose, and they range in size from wallet sized through to large RUCKSACKS.
It is recommended that all kits are in a clean, waterproof container to keep the contents safe and aseptic. Kits should also be checked regularly and restocked if any items are damaged or are out of date.
Your first aid kit should be organized, properly stocked and available at all times. It’s a good idea to have a first aid kit in various locations such as at home, in the car and at work.
It is strongly recommended that you participate in a first aid course so you will have the knowledge and skills to use equipment in a first aid kit to help someone who is suddenly injured or becomes ill.
Specialized first aid kits are available for various regions, vehicles or activities, which may focus on specific risks or concerns related to the activity. For example, first aid kits sold through marine supply stores for use in watercraft may contain seasickness remedies.
Storing your first aid kit
- Keep the first aid kit in a dry, cool location.
- Make sure the first aid kit is easily accessible
and that everyone in the family knows where it is.
- Some items, such as solutions, may have use-by
dates. Check regularly and replace when necessary.
- If an item is used from the first aid kit,
promptly replace it.

First aid equipment explained
The various
gauzes, dressings and bandages found in a first aid kit have different uses.
Some of these include:
- Adhesive strip dressings – small strips of gauze
attached to a sticky backing. These dressings are used for minor cuts and
skin injuries. In Australia, they are commonly called bandaids. It is
important to be aware that some people are allergic to bandaids.
- Non-adhesive dressings – best used for covering
burnt or abraded (scraped or grazed) skin. Never use adhesive dressings on
burnt or abraded skin.
- Wound dressings – these thick pads are used to
help control bleeding and reduce the risk of infection. Different sizes
are needed for different-sized wounds.
- Crepe or conforming bandages – these elastic
bandages are used to create pressure, hold dressings in place, reduce
swelling and provide some support.
- Triangular bandages – these non-elastic bandages
are used for slings, to hold splints in place and to restrict movement.
- Sterile eyewash solution – used to flush
eyelashes, insects, dust, sand or similar particles from the eye. Never
attempt to remove an object that is embedded in or has penetrated an eye –
in such an instance, seek urgent medical attention.
Things to remember
- Keep a first aid kit at home, in the car and at
work.
- You can purchase first aid kits from your local
pharmacy or from providers such as St John Ambulance Australia (Victoria).
- Do a first aid course, so you know how to help if
someone is injured or becomes ill.
