Toss Away That Crummy Old First Aid Kit After Reading This!
Yeah, seriously — don’t worry about it. Your business doesn’t really need to deal with first aid kits or any kind of special preventative care at the office, because we’ve put together these handy, not-at-all-fake reasons why you can simply go without.
#5: Injuries — do they even happen anymore?
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: We can just sorta… heal our own bodies, right?
Unless comic books and Hollywood films have lied to me, most wounds and other minor scrapes in the human body are easily dealt with. Even for really big injuries, say an open fracture or some kind of limb loss, I’m pretty confident that the human body — miraculous thing that it is — will just sort of work itself out. No?
#3: All that junk…
Ah, all that gauze and those crazy acids and disinfectants and all that crap — who needs it? I talked to a paramedic the other day (it was strange though, as he was living on the street and didn’t have an ambulance, just a shopping cart) and he told me it’s all just a big scam, those first aid kits. Speaking the truth!
#2: You can find simple and “safe” replacements for anything in a first aid kit!
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: A stitch in time doesn’t always save nine, does it?
I mean yeah, using a first aid kit might save your business a ridiculous amount of money by treating an injury quickly before it gets out of control, avoiding lengthy hospital stays and other such joys, but who can really say, either way? Why not just risk it?
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.
