FosPower NOAA Emergency Weather Radio A1, Portable Power Bank

First aid is response, not prevention. A kit does not control a hazard; it treats the outcome after one has already happened. Under 29 CFR 1910.151(b), where no infirmary, clinic or hospital is in near proximity, someone on site must be adequately trained to render first aid and supplies must be readily available. Stock the kit to the hazards actually present, check expiry dates, and restock it after every use.

The FosPower NOAA Emergency Weather Radio A1 adds official NOAA weather-band alerts and phone-charging capability to any 72-hour kit. This page covers the manufacturer's published specs, how it stacks up against the RunningSnail radio, and which full kits to pair it with.
