CPR & First Aid in your Workplace

If you have spent just one time not knowing what to do in an emergency, then it is time to learn.

We previously spoke about spending a few hours at your workplace learning CPR, so now I must reiterate the benefits of also learning basic first aid skills. There can be hours at the office that turn out to be unproductive time, so why not schedule a CPR and Basic First Aid class for just a few hours before, after or during the work day.

It is knowledge that everyone needs to know so why not do it where you spend the majority of your time. It will not take long and, chances are, it will help you, your loved ones and people around you.

Scheduling a CPR and Basic First Aid Class for your workplace is easy. Depending on how many people you have in your group, the instructor(s) will come to you, bringing along manikins, AED trainers and First Aid supplies so you can practice the skills being taught. All they need is some space. I can remember training groups of people in the hallways, lobbies, libraries or conference rooms of schools, court buildings and even museums. There was never a time when we didn’t have fun doing it either. Heart Attacks, Stroke, Allergic Reactions, Diabetes, Choking, Bleeding, Burns, Bites are some of the topics that can be covered. You can also ask that specific subjects be covered if your workplace has a need or an interest. In workplaces dealing with machinery, traumatic injuries can be covered whereas in court buildings with a gym, then medical issues such as heart attacks, stroke and diabetic emergencies would be discussed. We can easily taylor your ‘need to know’ into a CPR and Basic First Aid Class for your organization, teaching it all in the same day or breaking it up into parts.

Treat your employees to something more important than monthly birthday parties. Allow us to teach them skills that could save a life.
