CPR and First Aid Training

 

All workers may be confronted with life-threatening situation and should be trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and first aid techniques.  Statistics indicate that patient care and outcomes significantly improve when more people are trained to recognize early warning signs and follow appropriate procedures for life-threatening emergencies. Each year in the United States, 300,000 people die from cardiac arrest before reaching a hospital.

 

These courses provide individuals in the workplace the knowledge and skills necessary to recognize and provide lifesaving CPR and/or first aid including the ability to:
