That stinks. I used to work for a major public utility, and it was the complete opposite. Mandatory drills for all sorts of contingencies, fully stocked disaster cabinets on every floor, influenza vaccines offered onsite for free, heck they even had a pandemic ops center where they could lock in a bunch of healthy people to keep the lights on while everyone else has the plague. We made videos on how to lift things without getting hurt — and this was the infosec group! The company even did stuff like give out small free flashlights,
At the time it was a little tiresome, but after the fact I appreciate the time and resources spent on it.

Without identifying my workspace, I will relate the following:
- We are required to complete an active shooter training course annually
- No training in first aid is offered, even after employees requested it
- We are forbidden from purchasing first aid kits using company money, the reason being that none of us is certified in first aid
