Workplace services first aid and safety revenue growth measures year-over-year growth in revenue from workplace first aid, safety products, training, and related service operations.

Cintas reported 14.3% First Aid and Safety Services revenue growth in fiscal 2026. UniFirst reported 3.4% growth in its First Aid & Safety Solutions segment for the thirteen weeks ended May 30, 2026.

Reported growth can include different service mixes

Cintas and UniFirst do not define these segments identically. Their revenue can include different combinations of cabinet service, safety products, training, wholesale distribution, and other activities.

The metric therefore answers whether each issuer's own first-aid and safety business is expanding, not whether one company has the stronger normalized industry growth rate.

Acquisition and channel effects still matter

Cintas said acquisitions contributed 0.3 percentage points to fiscal 2026 segment growth. UniFirst said quarterly growth was affected by timing in wholesale direct-sale shipments.

Use the measure with first-aid and safety revenue mix and uniform and facility organic revenue growth to keep segment scale and underlying route demand separate.
