5 Hilarious Reasons to Avoid First Aid Kits.

Thinking about purchasing some first aid kits for your business? Think again! With these 5 great and highly responsible reasons, there won’t be any sort of issue when it comes to keeping your employees safe. We’ve done years of research and put together this anti-first-aid-kit list that’s sure to make our case extremely well!

#5: Injuries? What Injuries?

Really, when do people get hurt? I’ve never heard about it myself, and I think it’s mostly isolated to various TV shows and dramatized re-enactments. If I took a completely unscientific poll, I’m pretty sure most of the people I asked would say they’ve not only never been injured themselves, but don’t even know of someone with a past injury. And I’m sure it’s the same for you. Why buy a first aid kit that will never even be opened?

#4: The human body can heal itself.

I know we haven’t progressed to growing back our limbs yet, but really, when you’ve got an injury or something, you know your body will eventually patch it up and heal it over in the best way it knows how. So why bother with all this crazy, unnecessary external stuff, right?

#3: What’s really in a first aid kit?

So pricey, all those bandages and things, right? You’ve got all that complicated gauze and these weird chemicals for “infections” and a bunch of other stuff, and I mean really who ever gets those? I’m starting to think these magical “first aid kits” are just some kinda big conspiracy or something!

#2: Get creative with household or office supplies instead!

Let’s say you have a little “mishap” at the office — why reach for that dusty, boring old first aid kit when you can use a little creativity (with a capital C, of course) to bandage up that open fracture with a bit of duct tape and printer toner? Try it out, and then let me know how it goes! Well, actually, don’t let me know.

#1: You’ll save more money by solving accident problems after they happen.

Ah sure, they say being able to treat injuries with a first aid kit can save thousands of dollars in medical bills, workers compensation, and even eventual lawsuits, but who are “they” really? Doctors? Experts? Paramedics? When have they ever known anything?!

If you do not agree with everything you have just read - you are probably very right. You should never leave a workplace safety for a chance. First aid kits, blue bandaids, fire safety equipment - it’s not just a waste of money. It is you being responsible for your own health and security.
