    Dated dressings - would you use if needed?

    If in doubt, pick up some more and then use them for training on loved ones or have them train on you, that said having some that are out of date is better than having none and if I didn’t have the money to replace them I would keep them until I did.

    It’s surprising how many places still have teams mate, personally I’ve always found getting lost easier in a built up area lol You never know when there might be a major incident/weather event and people need help. And I’m just about to order from sps! So thank you

    That They should be and ALL employees at all company’s should be first aid trained not just some, that complacency is the same if popping to the shops on your bike and not wearing your helmet, driving with no seatbelt (never done and never will) or carving a kuksa and making room for more blood.

    Hey woodsorrel, it’s more that I hadn’t shown my wife what to do in the event something happened, If I had she might have been able to get to the kit, but now :crutch::surrender: Those two paramedics are fantastic people, as are they all. And thanks mate
