Asthma Emergency Kits
What is in an Asthma Emergency Kit?

Asthma Emergency Kit

Asthma Emergency Kits provide a convenient storage for blue reliever inhalers and unopened single use spacers and face masks. These kits are intended for quick access and administration by those who have a duty-of-care in schools, childcare sites, organisations and other workplaces.

While these kits are mostly used in supervised settings, anyone can purchase an Asthma Emergency Kit.

Purchase an Asthma Emergency Kit

There are two Asthma Emergency Kits available on the Asthma Shop:

The kit for children under 5 contains face masks.

You can also purchase the Asthma Emergency Kit bag without kit contents at the Asthma Shop.

Having a fully stocked Asthma Emergency Kit helps ensure schools, organisations and workplaces are prepared in case of an asthma emergency and that asthma first aid can be easily administered.

The contents of the kit are not intended for general all-purpose everyday use, rather the management of an asthma emergency.
