Rental is the smart, money-saving option thousands of savvy businesses are choosing across Australia…
Buying a first aid kit seems like a good idea. But with the hassles of complex WH&S legislation, having to relentlessly restock multiple kits, and splashing out a huge chunk of change….that good idea might quickly become a bad one.
You’re in the business of saving your time and money. Well…you’re in luck. At Alsco, we are, too. With our managed rental service, you can let all your worries of legislation, restocking, and cash flow disappear from your mind. Ta-da! Gone.
Why Choose Alsco’s Managed Rental Service?
Renting from Alsco is more than renting. Our team take care of all of your worries – from your financial concerns to jumping through all the complex legal hoops involved.
Alsco’s Managed Rental Service is…
- Cashflow-friendly – avoid large, crippling purchase costs
- Charged at a flat, fixed annual fee (no sneaky extras!)
- Up-to-date with complex, confusing WH&S legal guidelines
- Convenient, hassle-free quarterly servicing
- Regularly managed by a friendly team of professionals
In 2005, there were 139,630 work-related injuries* in Australia. That’s one injury for every 9 working hours. If your first aid stock has run out or expired, it’s not just a hassle for you – it’s a constant risk for your employees. Is that a chance you’re willing to take?
If you choose to buy rather than rent, expect…
- A huge cash investment and the constant costs of maintenance
- To juggle dozens of kits and individual suppliers
- To keep up-to-date with and jump through complex WH&S legal hoops – just to avoid hefty fines
- The constant worry that your kits are inadequate for the law…and your employees’ safety
The Real-World Risks Of Renting VS Buying
Acme Inc. are a mid-sized computer technology company. To comply with Australian regulations, they’re legally required to have a set number of first aid kits per floor. With 8 floors, that means 16 first aid kits, 8 eyewash stations and 8 defibrillators.
To ‘save money’, Acme Inc. decide to purchase rather than rent their kits. Not only do they have to splash out a hefty initial fee, they’re also responsible for restocking the kits and staying up-to-date with changing WH&S laws. This means…juggling various suppliers, and time spent on regular restocking and legislation checks.
Inevitably, Acme Inc. struggle. One day, an employee burns herself severely in the office kitchen. Because the ‘burns’ module of the first aid kit hasn’t been restocked, she can’t treat her injury properly. Not only are Acme Inc. liable for damages, they could also be fined up to $3,000,000 – simply for not complying with WH&S legislation.
Alsco’s Managed Rental Service eliminates those costs, risks and hassles – entirely. With one fixed annual fee, our professional team checks and restocks your kits every quarter – like clockwork. In renting from us, you can rest assured that you’ll have the exact first aid supplies you need on hand – every time. Even in emergencies*.
