Today, I cut a finger while cleaning white furniture. Just a little poke from a zipper, but enough to cause bleeding, and it wouldn't stop. Had my Son take over for a while as I tried to locate a bandaid in the van. I'd hate to ask the custy for one. You carry a kit??

Yes. A nice one is not expensive. Swap it off the truck in two years or so and give the old one away.

Walmart has a nice first aid kit for like $10.00, everything you'll need. Gotta have it.

We found the most common injury for carpet techs was a burn or scald. So, we carried first aid kits that included products for burns. Maybe $30 instead of the $10 Walmart special deal. But we did keep a kit on each truck along with eye wash bottles.

Not that you are likely ever to have to prove that you carried them, but it is a legal regulation per OSHA.

Yes. After a few duct tape and part of a rag on a finger I just had to get one. Got the one with the burn gel in it at target for $17.00. You could always carry the super glue too. It's waterproof.
