Every home and office should have one or more first aid kits. But how important is it? No one thinks about first aid kits until they are needed for headaches or paper cuts. However, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 3.6% of all employees will suffer a non-fatal office injury every year. Aside from preparing for inevitable accidents, you should also take special precautions if you work in a region that is susceptible to natural disasters such as hurricanes or floods. I strongly recommend that one or more employees take a class from the Red Cross so they know what to do in case of an emergency, and ReStockIt.com has emergency supplies on sale for almost any emergency situation you may encounter in the office or at home. If anyone at the office knows CPR, make sure that they have enough CPR masks available just in case. With a basic emergency evacuation and first aid plan, you are prepared to minimize the damage of most office injuries.
