Petition Details

Make it a legal requirement for businesses and government/local authority areas to have first aid kits to help those in need prior to the arrival of emergency services.

Additional Information

There has been cases of people, especially young children, getting injured and not having first aid kits available to get help immediately. It could be anything from a small cut to a dog bite, these things need cleaned up and covered quickly to prevent infection and first aid trained people or just bystanders cannot help without the appropriate equipment, making it legal to have this available could help save lives in times of struggle
