An eyewash station is one of the few pieces of safety equipment a company hopes it never has to use, which is exactly why it so often gets forgotten. When a chemical splash, dust, or debris reaches someone’s eyes, the seconds that follow decide whether that person keeps their vision.
Most people do not think about what is inside a first aid kit until they need it. But when that moment comes, every stocked item, every checked expiration date, and every AED on the wall can matter.
Walk over to the first aid cabinet in your breakroom and open it. If half the burn gel is gone, the bandages are the wrong size, and nobody can remember the last time it was restocked, you are not alone, and you may not be compliant.
It is easy to walk into a customer’s building, refill a cabinet, check a box, and move on. Katie Hall, Service Leader of CITY First Aid, believes the best service starts when you slow down, pay attention, and notice what others might miss.
An Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is designed to give everyday people a chance to save a life before emergency responders arrive. In workplaces, schools, gyms, and public facilities, AEDs have become one of the most important pieces of safety equipment a business can invest in.
Today, Katie helps lead CITY First Aid’s growing presence in California, building relationships with customers while helping shape what excellent service looks like as the division continues expanding.
A first aid kit can be fully stocked, but if employees do not know what is inside or where to find what they need, the kit is not doing everything it could. The same is true for eyewash stations and AEDs.
No first aid kit prevents every incident—but when something happens, having a maintained cabinet and a consistent process removes one more variable from a stressful situation.
OSHA’s most recent data reinforces this point. In fiscal year 2025, the same familiar standards once again topped the list of citations. Fall Protection led the list for the fifteenth straight year.
Understand the difference between OSHA and ANSI, and why both matter for workplace safety. CITY’s managed first aid program keeps your business compliant, prepared, and worry-free.
