The new rules we have mean the first aid box is useless - it can only have trauma supplies.
The idea is that the first aid is trauma until the paramedics arrive. If you have band-aids/aspirin etc then that is treatment - and you aren't qualified to decide that a band-aid is all the treatment that is needed!

Same logic removed the burn gel from the only source of burns (you might be alergic) and the oxygen masks from the only place they are needed (a member of the public might break into the lab and need oxygen then sue us when we administer it!)

Result of course is everyone's desk is stuffed full of band-aid aspirin and burn gel.
