Tailor your kit to what could happen. Chemical burn stuff in the yard, sharps in the kitchen, that sort of thing. And stick the "What three words" code on everything. Its the fastest way for the help to know where you are.
And keep in mind the tune "Staying alive" as it is the rhythm to do heart compressions, faster than you think.

I think for an organised estate or sizeable farm business a first aid kit including eye wash in each vehicle may be a good bet. Affixed to the back of the seat perhaps or somewhere handy.

Make sure that you get the defib checked/serviced on a regular basis & keep an eye on expiry dates for the pads.
yep - it’s pretty smart as it alerts you when service or maintenance is required

standard here - first aid kit and fire stick in every machine / farm truck
was just over £1k
defribulator, first aid, burns kit, eyewash kit and biohazard pack
covers most stuff until an ambulance could get here - i need to make a sign with grid ref / w3w location for 999 calls to put next to it

Did you get a nurse’s uniform thrown in
Any chance of a group buy price through Farmdeals, etc?
Don't fancy driving 2 miles to borrow a starter pack if someone I valued was sparko in the yard.
Very efficient

Our defibrillator is registered with the national database and mounted on an outside wall, not much use in a locked building.

There are various charity schemes for defribs. My parish council covers 3 villages and the one i live in has only about 60 residents. No shop no pub. I am not sure of the financial details but we are going to put a village defribulator on my milking parlour wall, it is the most obvious place. I have to provide electricity but that is obviously not a problem.
Bg
be careful ! i’ve had a few emails / calls offering cheap / subsidised or charity defribs and when i looked into it they usually tie you into very expensive contracts for long terms
from my research it’s cheaper just to buy one commercial and not get tied into contracts
sad that such things attract the scammers and those looking to profit

Those foil survival blankets are very cheap on Amazon or similar, very useful to putting over someone who has been injured and likely to go into shock. Many of you guys are outdoors around the clock and often many miles from help meaning it could be quite some time before the emergency services arrive to the scene.
