It is a proven fact that people experiencing injuries such as choking, bleeding, burns, falls, respiratory failures, heart attacks, stroke, etc., become worse as each untreated minute goes by. During the time it takes to call 911 and wait for their response and arrival, a trained co-worker can immediately begin to render assistance and help.

CPR effectively keeps blood flowing and provides oxygen to the brain and other vital organs, giving the victim a better chance for full recovery.  If CPR is started within the first two minutes of a cardiac arrest, the chances of survival double.  Lack of treatment during these first critical minutes will almost always lead to a catastrophic outcome.

Most people enjoy learning new things, especially something that will, not only help their fellow coworkers, but their families and friends as well. This training demonstrates to your workforce that you care about their well-being both on and off the job.  In short, by investing in them, you are investing in your firm and their families.

There are several standards that require an employer to provide first aid response.  There are also numerous position letters within OSHA that requires a medical response for what is considered standard and customary care/response.  Recently OSHA has cited numerous organizations for failure to act under the General Duty Clause.   Citations such as these, under the General Duty Clause, are at the discretion of OSHA.  Employers that engage well trained first response teams are significantly less likely to be cited for failure to act, thereby minimizing potential fines and wrongful allegations. OSHA does have industry specific requirements that can be discussed prior to or after training, affording your company clarity in requirements.

The training process typically lasts for two full days totaling 18 hours of actual training.  This training involves HealthCare Provider CPR (this is the same training Doctors, Nurses and Paramedics receive) and Advanced First Aid with customization to the particular needs of your organization.  A tremendous amount of time is dedicated to hands on practice and followed up with on-site drills and training modules at your location.  In addition, decisions and direction regarding appropriate treatment facilities are a major focus of the program.  All of this leads to the best possible outcomes for the patient. Training can be conducted over weekends, at nights and during the day.  Our goal is to accommodate your schedule without interruption to the workday or your operation.
