How to Run Your First Audit

1

Pick or create a kit

Start with the sample home kit to see how it works, or create a blank profile for your car, office, or hiking pack. Each kit saves separately in your browser.

2

Add your supplies

Use quick-add buttons for common items, or type your own. Enter expiry dates for anything that degrades: wipes, ointments, medications, cold packs, and gloves.

3

Read the status colors

Red means expired and needs immediate replacement. Amber means expiring within 90 days. Green means good. Blank dates show under "check manually."

4

Restock and re-audit

Use the restock checklist to buy only what you need. Save the kit, print the list, or copy a share link. Come back in 3 months to update.

Common Mistakes

  • Forgetting elastic wraps and adhesive tape (glue dries out in 2-3 years).
  • Storing kits in hot car gloveboxes, which speeds up expiry for meds and wipes.
  • Not counting gloves. A single pair is never enough for a family.
  • Ignoring the first aid manual. If you cannot find it, print a new one.

Troubleshooting

  • If your kit disappears, you may have cleared browser data. Use the share link to restore it.
  • Dates showing as expired when they are not? Check your device clock. The tracker uses your local date.
  • Share link too long for a text message? Print or export JSON instead.

Assumptions & Limits

  • This is a personal inventory aid, not a certified safety inspection.
  • Expiry logic uses a simple date check. It does not account for storage conditions.
  • All data stays on your device. Nothing is sent to a server.

Questions People Ask

How often should I check my kit?

Every 3 months is a good rhythm. Many people tie it to daylight saving time changes or the first day of each quarter so it is easier to remember.

What is the most commonly expired item?

Antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment, and adhesive bandages with weakened glue top the list. Batteries in flashlights and elastic wraps also degrade faster than people expect.

Can I use this for a whole office building?

Yes. Create a separate kit profile for each floor or zone. The restock list helps you batch orders instead of buying one item at a time.

What if an item does not have an expiry date?

Leave the date blank and set quantity only. The tracker will list it under "check manually" so you still remember to inspect it visually.

Will my data leave my browser?

No. Everything runs on your device. Saved kits live in localStorage. Share links encode the kit in the URL, but nothing is sent to a server.
