I often receive e-mails from several people and companies who are contacted by telephone or in person by unscrupulous sellers and have been told that their first-aid kit is expired. It is absolutely not true !!
Some of them even push the audacity up to ordering you to throw away your first-aid kit and threatens to send you CSST inspectors and will issue a fine if you do not buy a new kit immediately, at an exorbitant price !
Don't get in this game, they are fraudsters !
The first-aid kit must me check pediodically.
Their must be an adequate number of kit in the workplace accessible in less than 5 minutes.
The kit must contain the required components.
The kit must be complete at anytime.
The kit must not contain any medication.
Any dressings, damage, non-sterile or soiled must be discarded and replaced.
The antiseptic swabs are the only items that have an expiration date and must be discarded and replaced when obsolete.
Don't throw away your first-aid kit... kick that fraudster away or hang up the phone!!!
