Workplace Remote Location Module in Clip Seal Plastic bag

This Remote Location Module holds specific first aid items supplementary to a general workplace first aid kit, for responding to fractures, sprains, shock and burns in remote areas. It contains a burnsheet dressing 70 x 200cm, a 36 inch flexible splint, two heavy crepe bandages 10cm x 1.8m and a silver space rescue blanket, in a clip seal plastic bag.

Why add a remote location module

The premise is what makes it useful: this is a supplement, not a kit. A standard workplace kit is built around cuts, grazes and minor burns because that is what happens in a building. Remote work changes the problem - help is hours away, so the injuries that matter are the ones you have to manage rather than dress, and a remote location module adds exactly those items.

Each item answers a specific remote problem. The 36 inch flexible splint immobilises a fracture that will be splinted for hours, not minutes. The burnsheet dressing at 70 x 200cm covers a large burn area, which a standard kit cannot. The space rescue blanket addresses shock and hypothermia - a casualty lying still in the open loses heat fast, even in mild weather.

The two heavy crepe bandages are the most versatile things in it: pressure, support, splint securing, and - importantly in Australia - pressure immobilisation bandaging for snake and funnel-web bite. Keeping the module in a clip seal bag means the contents stay clean and dry in a vehicle or pack and are obviously intact at a glance.

Common uses

Farms, mine sites, forestry, remote maintenance crews, survey and exploration teams, and any vehicle working beyond quick ambulance reach. It supplements rather than replaces the base kit - see farming, mining and remote area first aid kits for that. Snake country needs its own module: the SURVIVAL Snake Bite Kit carries the bandage technique instructions with it, and extra heavy crepe bandage is worth holding.
