Bandaids are a high theft item in many workplaces across Canada. It is not uncommon
for employees to open first aid kits to take a bandaid and find that there are none. Most employers have trouble keeping bandaids in stock inside first aid kits because they have to ensure kits are accessible to all staff at all times. This unfortunately means that some staff will take bandaids out of first aid kits at their workplace for personal use, leaving supplies low and kits inadequately stocked for real emergencies. This in turn leaves employers open to liability and potential fines for not ensuring supplies are adequate for actual first aid emergencies.

Cederroth Industrial Products is a manufacturer of innovative first aid supplies. Their Salve Quick bandaid dispensers and refills can help minimize theft of supplies and ensure bandaids are available for those workers that really need them. As a worker pulls the individual bandaid from the dispenser, the adhesive surface is exposed automatically and is ready to apply to the wound without leaving paper waste to dispose of. This ensures that workers cannot take bandaids home for personal use because the bandaids must be applied right away once you take it from the Salve Quick dispenser.

Refilling the Salve Quick dispenser is easy. Refills are available that you simply insert into the dispenser after removing the empty bandaid card using the supplied red dispenser key. There are several option available for bandaid types including fabric strips, plastic strips,metal detectable and finger tip bandages.

Why is it so difficult for supervisors to make sure workers are using their PPE correctly? Most manufacturers provide a very detailed manual with each piece of safety equipment sold, but are usually too long or too difficult to understand for the average worker. Most companies don't have the resources to designate a full time employee to inspect their workplace to make sure everyone is adhering to company safety policies.



ISS has launched a new Safety On Scene Service – the “10 Steps to Safety” posters provide a short summary of the Do’s and Don'ts of proper PPE use.

Here is a sample poster:

These customizable bulletins can be printed on virtually any material and size, emphasizing, right out of the box how important relevant information is for workers and their protection while using Personal Protective Equipment.
