- Knowing basic first aid techniques can prevent minor issues from becoming life-threatening emergencies.
- Proper first aid supplies should be kept accessible and regularly restocked for quick deployment.
- Incorrect first aid application can sometimes worsen an injury or delay necessary medical care.
