Why Should CPR and First Aid Be Taught in Your Workplace?

Heart related accidents are likely to happen anywhere, but they can be especially frightening in the workplace. These types of accidents are very dangerous, and if they happen in a professional setting they can distract and unnerve employees as well as office visitors. However, by obtaining cpr certification, you and your employees can learn how to handle a situation like this in a calm and professional manner. By learning how to administer cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), your team is learning an emergency procedure that could save lives. Although CPR is a relatively simple procedure, the American Heart Association recommends that all professionals are trained how to administer it properly.

The American Heart Association states that CPR is to be administered to keep the patient’s organ systems and blood circulation as regular as possible until they can be examined by a medical professional. By getting your employees CPR certified, you offer them a skill that could potentially save someone’s life, either in or outside of the office. 

The team at CPR & Safety Training and Consulting believes that CPR classes should be taught to every working professional. This is why we offer a various set of CPR classes  that can suit your needs. Whether you are interested in having your team certified in just basic CPR, or CPR/AED administration, you will find a training course package that is perfect for you. 

CPR is not the only life saving skill that you and your company can learn with CPR & Safety Training and Consulting. We also offer a combination of training course packages that include first aid instruction. This is another vital skill set to obtain for anyone, not just a working professional. If someone is injured on the job, it is important to know how you can help them until a medical professional arrives. The best way to do this is to become certified in first aid. By doing so, you learn how to help someone in an emergency, and how to act in a calm and professional manner. To get your team instructed on how to help another co-worker in case of an office related injury, we offer packages of training courses that include basic and intermediate first aid.  These training course packages will allow you and your employees to obtain the knowledge of what to do in a variety of emergency situations including workplace injuries and choking.

The team at CPR & Safety Training and Consulting believes that it is also important to stop and emergency before it even starts. In addition to CPR certification and first aid, some of the packages below also offer training courses in preventative measures. Our instructor led or online courses can help you spot potential workplace accidents, and how to handle them when they do occur. 

To ensure the current and future wellbeing and safety of you and your employees, take a look at some of the instructor led and online training courses we offer. Read on for descriptions of the several different training course packages in CPR and first aid that we have available.
