Preparing Your Car & Workplace

In your car

This may vary according to the time of year, but keep these items in the car as a basic emergency kit:

• bottled water
• first aid kit
• torch & batteries
• cigar plug lead for mobile phone
• sweets, longlife snacks
• a blanket, warm tracksuit and woolly hat
• a waterproof coat
• wellington boots
• spare socks (can also be used as gloves)
•   Keep an emergency kit in your car

At work

Know the emergency procedures for your workplace thoroughly.

In some situations you might have to remain at your workplace for safety. Your building may have good facilities it could pay to think about what you would need if you had to stay overnight.
