What First Aid Services Don’t Tell You About Employee Safety

As an HR professional, you're expected to help build a culture of safety and trust. That includes ensuring that first aid supplies are available, accessible, and up to code. But what if the service you've been relying on isn't as dependable—or cost-effective—as you thought?

Many workplaces use mobile first aid services, thinking they're a one-stop solution. But there are critical things they don’t advertise—things that affect both compliance and your employees’ confidence in workplace safety.

Convenience Doesn’t Equal Compliance

  • Outdated Practices – Some reps aren't trained in current ANSI 2021 standards.
  • No Accountability – If a cabinet is empty or expired, who’s responsible?
  • Inconsistent Visits – Refill frequency varies by route, not your needs.

Your team deserves better than an outsourced solution that may miss the mark. HR is often the first department blamed when something is “missing” during an audit—or after an incident.

Why Self-Management Strengthens Safety Culture

Taking ownership of your first aid program doesn’t mean more work. With MFASCO’s tools, it means more control, clarity, and compliance:

  • 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.

When HR Leads, Safety Follows

You're in a unique position to connect compliance with culture. Employees feel safer when supplies are in place—and that builds trust across departments.
