Safety pins in the first aid kit are primarily used to hold and secure bandages.
Although you may find safety pins in the first aid kit, especially with the triangular bandages, they are no longer used as much. Today, there are safer and more efficient techniques of securing a bandage such as taping, tying and tucking.
However, the presence of safety pins in the first aid kit comes in useful when an improvised arm sling is used or when immobilisation is required.
