Whistles/lanyard/Megaphones

Some may argue that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; others may feel that any amount of prevention is priceless. By keeping a whistle, air horn or megaphone near your first aid kit or emergency kit you can alert others in an emergency or dangerous situation. Using one of these devices lets you alert others in the immediate area to the possibility of danger; this may save other people from threat and can keep others safe. Sounding the alarm also lets you summon help by alerting others to the emergency.

A whistle or air horn can get people's attention which can be handy if you are a lifeguard overseeing a busy pool and people are roughhousing. The loud noise catches people's attention and lets a safety professional regain control on the situation. The additional value of the megaphone is that you can give verbal instruction should you need to clear an area of give people another form of direction. When purchasing a megaphone consider how big of an area you need to cover. The wattage of a megaphone determines how far away it can be heard. The higher the wattage the bigger the area it can cover, or the further away it can be heard. Our megaphones can be heard from 1,000 feet away, all the way up to 1,500 feet away. Our megaphones also feature a siren setting for added convenience.

Any type of device that lets you control a crowd and helps you manage an emergency situation, or prevent emergencies altogether, is a very valuable addition to your first aid kit or emergency kits.
