[[Paramedic]]s, EMTs and other prehospital emergency providers such as [[combat lifesaver]]s usually carry a comprehensive first aid kit. Often called a "jump kit," this is a large duffel bag. Some of the supplies in a jump kit are beyond the skill of a typical first-aid provider, but common first-aid supplies are also carried. | [[Paramedic]]s, EMTs and other prehospital emergency providers such as [[combat lifesaver]]s usually carry a comprehensive first aid kit.

[[Lifeguard]]s must have quick access to a well-stocked first aid kit at their place of employment. In Canada, they are trained to the level of "Standard First Aid," and can deal with many first aid situations from a stubbed toe to a victim with C-spine injuries and absent vital signs.

In Canada, they are trained to the level of "Standard First Aid," and can deal with many first aid situations from a stubbed toe to a victim with C-spine injuries and absent vital signs. Obviously, a lifeguard is no replacement for a [[paramedic]] or doctor, but if you require care and a lifeguard is nearby, remember that they have training and a duty to act. Generally speaking, you may not use their first aid kit; they will have to provide care, and perhaps write a report per the regulations of the jurisdiction you are in. | ||
