Why is a first aid kit important?
A burn, a cut... your domestic helper could get injured during working hours. A well-stocked first aid kit can make all the difference in the first few minutes afterward. That is why we ask every client to make basic first aid supplies available in the home where the domestic helper works. Keep these supplies in an easily accessible place known to the domestic helper.
Check the contents regularly. Replenish materials if necessary and check the expiration dates. We ask you to make at least the following materials available:
• Pair of vinyl gloves for hygienic wound care
• Tweezers & rubbing alcohol
• Burn ointment
• Plasters & Gauze Compresses
When your domestic helper injures themselves during work
• Stay calm and provide first aid if necessary and possible.
• Make the first aid equipment available.
• Notify the office of the incident immediately. We will take care of further follow-up and registration in the electronic First Aid register.
In case of emergencies or poisoning
• Do not induce vomiting in the victim.
· In case of contact with eyes or skin, rinse thoroughly with clean water.
· In the event of an accident caused by inhalation, move the victim to a non-contaminated environment and let him or her rest.
• Always keep the label available for the emergency doctor.
• Call the Poison Control Center: 070/245 245 (free call).
· In case of emergency, call 112.
Thank you in advance for taking a moment to reflect on this with us! With small efforts, together we ensure a safe and worry-free workday for the domestic helpers.
