Which part of the house do you think your first aid kit should be placed?  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 99/100. Gareth126 (2047) 3 years ago

A first aid kit is very useful during emergency situation at home. I placed mine in the bedroom inside my closet where my children has no access. But every time there is emergency, I always tend to forget about it and end up rushing to a convenient store nearby to buy plasters, gauze, band aid, stuff like that. Where do you place your first aid kit? Do you have similar experience, forgetting about it during emergency situation at home?

I keep it in the kitchen, which is where accidents are more likely to happen

Hello Galena.. you're right, the kitchen is a good place to put this stuff. Thanks for your time!

There are no kids at my home, so I have the 1st aid kit in a shelf near the tv. It's just because it's easy too see and very handy. I wanted it to be in the kitchen, but currently I don't have the right space in the kitchen to put it.

hello gareth!

in our house, its just me and my husband, and our first aid kit just include some plasters, some antiseptics, things like that...and i just place them where i can easily find them! haha i need to place them where i also put those things that i often use coz if not, i might also forget about it! huh! i do have some memory gap at times! hahahalol

i think, sometimes, we tend to forget such things during emergency situation coz sometimes we really panicked and feel nervous on the situation...that's why our mind tend to forget about them coz what we want to do is to apply right away anything that we can easily do...so i think we really must be calm during emergency situations to think well...wink

Hi ckyera, i am very forgetful especially during emergency situations, i seem to panic and really get nervous. Thanks for the comment!

Better to place it in an area that is easy for you to see it but not easy for the kids to reach it at least when emergency happens you can easily see it & not causing you to panic around.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Gareth126 (2047)  3 years ago

You're right happy, i think i should place it in the kitchen. Thanks!

Ours is kept in the bathroom. I don't really know why it is, it just is. However, I think maybe one first aid kit should be kept in each area of the house (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom). If you have kids, then just the adult bedroom.


myLot reputation of 99/100. Gareth126 (2047)  3 years ago

Hi cherish... i agree with you, i think it is wise to place first aid kits in each area of the house. Thanks!happy

Well if there is a bigger budget for such, then I would put first aid kit in different places at home considering that accidents can happen anytime, anywhere. But most notably if there is only one set of first aid kit or supplies, then I would place them in the kitchen. Most of accidents and injuries may happen there. Aside from the first aid kit, a fire extinguisher would also be useful in the area.happy

Hi jpso,
You are right, a fire extinguisher is really a must in our homes... thanks for the input...happy And i agree with you, the kitchen is where the accidents are likely to happen, there has to be a first aid kit placed in this area... thanks!..happy

Hi Gareth
My house has a central hall, from where you go to kitchen, bedrooms, guest room , toilet and upstairs, we keep a first aid box there in a small stand on the left wall, this is visible to all, so this can be used by any person in the home..
Thank you so much for this discussion.
Professor ‘Bhuwan’. . Cheers have a lucky day ahead.
God bless you. Welcome always.
have a nice day
