Mobile First Aid Service vs. In-House Safety Committee: A Better Approach?

Mobile First Aid Service vs. In-House Safety Committee: A Better Approach?

Your committee already monitors safety procedures, conducts audits, and helps train team members. So why not manage the first aid cabinets too?

Let’s compare two common approaches—external van-based services vs. an empowered internal safety committee—and see which better supports a compliant and trustworthy workplace.

Option 1: Use a Mobile First Aid Service

Sounds convenient, but comes with limitations:

  • No transparency – You don’t know what’s stocked or when it was checked
  • Passive inspections – No hands-on ownership of the inventory
  • Limited flexibility – Reps follow a route, not your usage patterns

Option 2: Empower the Safety Committee

With MFASCO tools, you can easily self-manage with confidence:

  • ReStockKit – A visual restocking tool using a picture map of the cabinet so staff can quickly select the exact item needed and add it to the cart; it also acts as a placement map.
  • Paper Checklists – Easy for safety teams or admins to track inventory.
  • Reminders – Schedule regular cabinet checks before inspections.

Which Option Aligns With Your Goals?

If your committee values clarity, accountability, and a proactive culture, the choice is clear—own it yourselves with support from MFASCO.
