Summary

This first-aid kit is designed for cruising sailors. Amounts are approximate for one year.

Introduction

Good Samaritan Laws

Good Samaritan laws in many countries protect from blame those who choose to aid others who are injured or ill. They are intended to reduce bystanders' hesitation to assist, for fear of being prosecuted for unintentional injury or wrongful death.

Many such laws require you to render assistance to people in distress unless doing so would put you in danger.

Storage

Most medical supplies should be stored in a small locked refrigerator. Tools and materials can be stored in a cupboard or first-aid box. All medication use should be logged.

Prescriptions

Prescriptions to the kit in general should be made out in the name of the vessel.
