Why Relying on First Aid Services May Be Putting Your Team at Risk

Your safety committee is the heartbeat of a safe workplace. You help shape policies, conduct inspections, and serve as the eyes and ears of the team. But there’s one hidden risk many committees overlook—relying too heavily on outside first aid service vendors.
Mobile first aid services are marketed as convenient, but they can leave major gaps. If cabinets are missed, incomplete, or filled with unused stock, your workplace could be vulnerable—and your committee blamed.
Here’s What They’re Not Telling You
- They restock on their schedule, not based on your cabinet’s actual usage
- Inventory is often unclear—you don’t know what’s added or missing
- Cost transparency is limited—you might be paying for items no one uses
When the Safety Committee Takes Charge
Shifting to a self-managed program gives your team more control, better visibility, and the confidence that your cabinets are ready at all times. MFASCO makes this transition simple:
- 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.
Empowering the committee means empowering the team—and creating a safer workplace for everyone.
