FIRST AID EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR ATTENDANCE ON CLUB TRIPS

Each member must do their own risk assessment before purchasing first aid kits/supplies. Take into account:

Own training
Length of trip
Severity [grading] of trip, manual work involved.
Remoteness of area
Children in vehicle

Number of people in vehicle
Hazards and associated risks, e.g.: track repairs, winching, scalding, burns, etc.
Vehicle occupants with special needs
Possible delays
Use-by dates.

The Club will endeavour to have professionals address the meetings periodically, to give advice.

If tackling long or remote trips, we strongly recommend having a current First Aid Certificate

You shall always have a suitable First Aid Kit in your vehicle as you never know when you may need it.
