No First Aid Kits are "OSHA Approved". OSHA does not rates kits, or give their endorsement, they do, however, set guidelines for content and container, and all our kits meet the requirements for the purposes for which they are designed/advertised.

Said in another way, our kits are "OSHA Compliant". As the 3rd largest manufacturer of First Aid Products in the US, we have a great responsibility to produce OSHA and ANSI compliant products.

Almost all of our products ARE latex-free. Products that contain latex will have a note in the product description.

Fortunately, while we do not offer any free samples, we do have a way that you can try a product, and still benefit from our bulk discount pricing:

You may purchase samples at our discounted online pricing, then if you place your bulk order at a later date, we can credit you with the difference in price between your bulk price and the discount online price you paid for your sample.

Not necessarily; however, an N95 mask offers more comprehensive protection � whether the situation requires it or not. An N95 mask filters out at least 95% of all airborne particulates that are .03 microns or larger. Meaning, it protects against harmful dust, fog, smoke, mist, gases, vapors, sprays, and pathogens such as flu viruses.

A face mask (also called a surgical or procedural mask) protects the wearer from airborne bacteria and larger particulate matter such as dust and smoke. It also protects others from "catching" the wearer's oral and nasal bacteria. However face masks do not protect the wearer from airborne pathogens or harmful mist, gases, vapors or sprays.

Custom First aid Kits, or other custom build projects: Please include all of the above, and be VERY specific, give us a full content list including sizes and quantities of content, what sort of container you want it assembled in, if you have a "target" price state it, etc. Any images or extra details will help immensely.. the more complete you are in your request, the faster you will receive your quote.

*Set up fees, restrictions and other charges may apply...

Yes.

The MSDS sheet says to avoid excessive heat or cold.

If eyewash freezes and there is no evidence of leakage then the product should be OK. Freezing will not harm the eyewash.

The only issue is sterility: Water expands when it freezes so if the seal is broken, the bottle or cap is cracked or there is any other evidence that leakage occurred DISCARD IT.)

Minimum orders apply for International Shipping: CPR items $1000, First Aid Items $100, other product lines vary.

Please send pricing and 5 complete sets of samples to the Encinitas address below, attention: Product Review Department, and our product review team will consider the products for inclusion in our product line.
