The aid station is equipped with emergency rescue facilities and equipment in display cabinets, including training mannequins, Red Cross first aid kits, promotional materials, and basic first aid supplies like band-aids, iodine swabs, ice packs, bandages, and tourniquets.

Residents can access the supplies on-site, while outdoor workers can use them for simple injuries such as abrasions.

Moreover, the station has utilized visual aids to educate outdoor workers on emergency first aid. Posters illustrating first aid procedures for outdoor injuries, drowning rescues, heat strokes, and other emergencies are displayed, accompanied by QR codes for instructional videos.

Emergency aid videos are burned onto discs for manual playback on TVs, providing a more interactive learning experience for outdoor workers.

Furthermore, the aid station plans to conduct regular first aid training sessions, which would include training on CPR techniques and the use of automated external defibrillators, to better prepare the public for unforeseen emergencies.
