I heard on radio that they have to be green at work but can be anything at home. as we're working from home does that mean it has to be green but i can put colourful stickers on it???:D :D :laughing:

Don't think it matters - as long as you can get to it easily but mindees can't reach it.

I was told at first aid course that it has to be green with a white cross - don't suppose a few stickers would be a problem though!!:D

Aahh! but what sort of green should it be ? Lime green? Racing green ? Pea green ? I'm sure OFSTED will let us know if it's the wrong shade of green :laughing:

I was also told on the first aid course that it must be green with a white cross on it.
here is a link to the first aid supplies site where I buy from, they also have keyring Resuscitation Face Shields too that are kinda cute and perfect to drop into a bag knowing it wont get damaged and is available for use if ever its needed.
I bought a yellow keyring to mkae it more visible within my bag, it comes in green and blue too.

On my last first aid course the trainer suggested we keep the box at a low level so that a child could bring it to us, especially if we ourselves had an injury. Hadn't thought of that before!
The opening clips of the box are so stiff that I can hardly open it, let alone a small child!

Yeah, I know what you mean!
However if a little 'darling' did manage to get the box open, the contents are pretty tame.........I think!
