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: No one ever gets injured.
Come on, injuries? Do they really even happen? Frankly, I’m starting to think this whole “injuries” racket is just that — a bunch of BS! Do you know anyone who’s ever been injured? Come on, I bet you all probably said “no” right there. Wait, what’s that? You do? Oh. Well, moving on….
#4: The human body can heal itself.
This seems to work in comics and various superhero films, and I’m really starting to think that it works in real life, too. I mean we see it all the time when we cut ourselves or something — the body just heals itself right up! Who needs all this first aid crap, anyway?
#3: First aid kits don’t have anything useful in them anyway.
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: Get creative with household or office supplies instead!
Now we’re getting creative. Have a bleeding flesh wound? Head over to your supply closet and see what you can use! There’s probably all sorts of crap in there that can easily substitute for a proper first aid kid, right? Am I right? No?
#1: Who wants to be preventative, anyway? Boring!
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.
