ABOUT FIRST RESPONSE

First Response Inc.

We are a family owned business and have been serving the Chicago land area for over 25 years. We provide first aid service to a variety of businesses including factories, offices, restaurants, dealerships and hotels.

Included in our service is restocking, cleaning, checking for expired product and compliance of your first aid kits. We also check and refill eye wash stations, check the pads and batteries on AED’s and provide a variety of training.

First Response is not a franchise; we go to the sources that provide the best products available at the best prices. We have a large amount of suppliers that can get your company the best prices on first aid and safety products. We have a great routing system for our service people that contain our costs so we do not charge you for a service call.  We also provide the first aid kit cleaning supplies at no cost. All of our products are complete items, meaning we do not sell partial refills on a box of bandages.
