Background of the introduction

Unlike conventional first-aid kits, the "First Aid Kit FA with Provision and Display" is an important tool for fulfilling corporate social responsibility and contributing to local communities as part of CSR and SDGs activities. Currently, they are being installed in offices, stores, and personal and business vehicles of governments and companies nationwide.

In recent years, as the risk of disasters such as the Nankai Trough Earthquake has increased, the Yokohama City Resource Recycling Cooperative and the Yokohama City Collective Collection Promotion Committee, a non-profit organization, have been actively promoting the installation of "Provision Display Type First Aid Kit FA" in the cooperative's business vehicles that are driven around the city every day.

Therefore, on the occasion of March 11, the day of the Great East Japan Earthquake, we have decided to strengthen the installation of the kit in the vehicles of both organizations.

What is the "First Aid Kit FA"?

The "First Aid Kit FA" is the only first aid kit that aims to help each other. The stickers indicate the location of the first aid kit and are intended to be provided promptly to those in need in the event of a disaster or accident. This first aid kit was created not only for your own use, but also for mutual aid that connects people to each other.

During a risky disaster, the number of people who do not receive proper treatment, the so-called "untreated," is enormous. In the event of a large-scale disaster, it is expected that it may take several days for a disaster relief medical team (DMAT) or other medical personnel to arrive in the disaster area. To address this issue, it is hoped that the "Provided Display First Aid Kit FA" will be widely used throughout the country.

In order to promote the "creation of a town where people help each other by their own preparedness," it is expected that all businesses nationwide will introduce the "First Aid Kit FA with provided indication" in the future.

Many companies, organizations, and governments, as well as individuals and shopping malls, are promoting the spread of this activity as a local contribution activity, and it has been covered by the mass media.

■User's Voice

Mr. E, Fujisawa City (Individual)

I usually drive with the FA sticker on my car. I feel more relaxed in driving, not only for myself but also with the awareness that I am doing something good.

Anonymous, Fukuoka (Individual)

I have been driving more slowly than usual, so I was apt to be agitated, but after putting the FA sticker on my car, I feel that the cars behind me are now giving me more space and are more mindful of my safety.

Anonymous, Tokyo (Shop)

I have seen an improvement in the staff's awareness of the contribution they make to customers.

We have been able to build a win-win relationship with our customers because our products are in compliance with Article 633 and 634 of the Industrial Safety and Health Regulations (Anhei-Regulations).

Anonymous, Yokohama (shopping district)

We have installed the product in each store and vehicle in the shopping arcade.

A customer actually fell in front of the store and injured his hand, but the FA kit came in handy and he was very grateful. It is a very good product at a low price. I hope that this product will become more widely used in the future.

Anonymous, Yokohama (Company)

The employees' awareness of safety and mutual aid has improved.

The number of accidents in the car has decreased and the insurance premiums have dropped.

Anonymous, Yokohama (Company)

I think that not only us but all the governments in Japan should be willing to introduce this system as a disaster countermeasure.

Please promote it as a disaster countermeasure as soon as possible.
