Emergencies can happen anywhere—and the workplace is no exception. A cardiac arrest, serious injury, choking emergency, severe bleeding, or other medical event can happen without warning.
When an emergency occurs, the first few minutes matter.
That is why having employees trained in CPR, AED, and First Aid can be an important part of creating a safer and better-prepared workplace.
Every Minute Matters
During a medical emergency, professional responders may be only minutes away, but immediate action from someone already on scene can make a major difference.
Employees who have received proper training are better prepared to recognize an emergency, call 911, provide appropriate first aid, begin CPR when necessary, and use an AED until additional help arrives.
Training Builds Confidence
Many people want to help during an emergency but simply don't know what to do.
Quality safety and medical training gives employees the knowledge and hands-on practice needed to respond more confidently.
Depending on the workplace, training may include:
CPR
AED use
First Aid
Choking emergencies
Severe bleeding control
Bloodborne pathogens
Emergency response procedures
A Safer Workplace Benefits Everyone
Safety training isn't only about meeting workplace requirements. It's about preparing employees to take action when someone needs help.
The skills learned during CPR and First Aid training can also extend beyond the workplace. An employee may one day use those same skills to help a family member, friend, customer, or complete stranger.
