"First Aid Given Today" Wristbands

First aid given during the day needs to be handed over at the end of it. A band on the wrist travels with the person automatically, and does not depend on the right adult being told at the right moment.

Printed in black on neon green Tyvek. Used by schools, nurseries, holiday clubs and event medical teams.

Where the handover usually fails

The gap is rarely the treatment, it is the shift change and the gate. A slip of paper needs someone to carry it and someone to read it; a band is already on the person it concerns. That is why settings with several supervising adults tend to adopt these first.

Keeping the alert bands apart

If you use more than one alert band, give each a different band colour and keep it consistent across the setting. Green for first aid, gold for medicine and orange for inhaler is the split most of our customers land on, because it can be read at a glance without anyone stopping to check the wording.

Ordering

From 50 bands in batches of 10, which lasts most settings a full term. Bands are waterproof and tamper-evident, so they survive a day of play and cannot be swapped. See the Tyvek band for colours and delivery for cut-offs.
