Changes in FCC Rules/Regs

[nanglgrl]

this is what I put under one of my windows. It pretty much incapacitates that window. I'm so glad I had the foresight to put in two windows so I can leave one without the stairs.

I ended up having my hubby build the loft up to our egress so the stairs weren't just wasted space. The state let me slide as far as stairs on the outside once it was confirmed that the egress would not meet city code afterwards. I have a gate for the loft stairs but since I don't have infants they don't seem concerned with having a gate at the bottom. It turned out alright but I had to do some arguing like I had to do with the land line requirement issue. Pure silliness.

A good solution for this is to make a smaller travel sized first-aid kit and put the contents inside a fanny pack. Wear it when you go outside or on field trips so you have it handy and then take it back inside and hang it somewhere to protect the integrity of the items. This is what I do for field trips.

At centers I have worked at this is what we did ^^^

I'd assume in your supplies doesn't necessarily mean contained inside a kit. The breathing barrier I'm thinking wouldn't be required for CPR, just good to have in case there is concern of infectious disease? I have a few, one in my car, one on my keychain, one in my kit...but I wouldn't need one on any of the kids I have now.
I'll be curious to see how that plays out though. Both licensors I've had in different counties have said I should bring a first aid kid outside with me every single time we go. Even if it's just in the front yard. I tell them while that's nice in theory isn't it supposed to be put up and away? Well yes, up and out of reach.....to which I then always inquire if I'm expected to hang it form a tree or what?? And being exposed to the elements, sun, heat, cold...won't that affect the integrity of many of the items like rubber gloves, bandaids, cleaning solutions etc? :confused:

The instructor at my first aid/CPR class I just took advised us to ONLY do the breathing part of CPR using a mouth guard (on any one) because of vomiting. She said that more oten than not, a person that is given CPR will vomit, and you don't want that to end up in your mouth.

And I was going to auggest what everone else has already, regarding what to do about taking the things outside ... you can just create a smaller bag that has some of the necessary first aid supplies in it.

I know this thread is old . . .

But I was searching for first aid kit help to keep up with my states new regulations. I thought the discussion on egress windows/stairs was really interesting. At my inspection my licensor allowed me to have a step ladder placed inside the window, along with a small step stool to be taken out and opened as we evacuate. My window is an area gated off from the kids so I don't have to worry about them knocking down the step ladder.
