The Audit Results: How "National Provider" Markups are Draining Your Safety Budget

When you sign up for a national first aid restocking service, you’re paying for convenience. But have you ever looked at the line-item cost of that convenience?

We recently audited a potential customer's invoices from a major national provider and compared them to our 2026 pricing at Your Safety Company. While we expect some variation, the markups we found on standard compliance items were staggering.

The "Hidden Margin" in Your Cabinet

It isn't just about a few cents here and there. In several cases, the client was being charged more than double for the exact same products. Take a look at these real-world comparisons from our recent audit:

Why These Specific Items?

Notice that these aren't "luxury" items. These are everyday essentials for crews working outdoors or in industrial settings.

• The Advil Gap: Charging over $86 for a box of Advil is a perfect example of a "captive audience" price. They know you need it for your OSHA-compliant cabinet, and they assume you won't check the retail price.

• Specialty Safety (Ivy X & Bug X): For outdoor crews, these are high-volume items. A $20–$30 markup per box can easily cost a large company thousands of dollars in overspending every year.

Transparency is Our Business Model

At Your Safety Company, we don't hide behind complicated service contracts. We believe that if we provide 2026-ready products—like NARCAN, Transcend Glucose Gels, and Emergen-C Crystals—at a fair market price, we don't need to "lock you in" with high markups.

Our goal is to keep your team safe and your budget intact.
