What is the difference between a grab bag and a haversack kit?
Both provide portable first aid provision. The grab bag is a lightweight quick-access format designed for emergency pickup - suited to evacuation points, vehicle storage, and rapid response. The haversack is a structured shoulder bag with an adjustable strap designed for sustained carry by an appointed first aider moving across a site.
Where should I position a grab bag kit?
Grab bags are suited to locations where rapid access is needed in an emergency - near exits, at evacuation assembly points, in vehicle cabs, or at reception desks. Their lightweight format makes them easy to pick up and carry to an incident without the bulk of a standard rigid case.
