Built for the beach

The housing is weatherproof and mounts to a post at a beach access point, so the kit lives where an incident actually happens rather than in a shed somewhere.

It stays sealed. That keeps salt, sand and water off the contents, and it means anyone walking past can tell at a glance whether the kit is intact or has been opened.

Contents

  • 1 × SOF tourniquet
  • 2 × conforming bandages
  • 2 × large dressings
  • 1 × emergency thermal blanket
  • 1 × emergency whistle
  • 1 × pair nitrile gloves
  • 1 × parts bag
  • 1 × permanent marker

Kits also include incident management cards, which are simple and easy to understand. This means whoever the first responder is, regardless of their training, can follow these steps and hopefully save a life.

Getting one on your beach

Every kit ships with the mounting hardware needed to install it, so a local surf club, council or group of neighbours can put one up without a trade behind them.

If a kit is ever used, the insert is replaced rather than the whole unit — the housing stays on the post and a fresh sealed insert goes in.
