One of the many facets of an effective leader is caring for your employees. Show your employees you value them through leading by example. Be the leader who commits to improving the quality of life for your employees, their families and your community. Who knows? The life saved/impacted could very well be your own.
Did You Know? * Out of the 300,000 heart attacks suffered each year, half are fatal.
* 80,000 of these are sudden cardiac arrests with 70 percent occurring outside of hospitals.
* With every minute that passes, you have a 10 percent less chance of survival without CPR.
* By the time you have read this, you’ll have two minutes left to prevent a death!
Within the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Medical services and first aid regulations for employers, it states, “In the absence of an infirmary, clinic or hospital in near proximity (three-five minutes) to the workplace which is used for the treatment of all injured employees, a person or persons shall be adequately trained to render first aid. Adequate first aid supplies shall be readily available.”
Employers should provide medical services and first aid that are most appropriate to respond to incidents at their workplaces. OSHA allows employers to tailor the specific details of their first aid and medical services program, depending on the circumstances of each workplace and employer.

Our CPR/First Aid training certification is good for two years and issued once training has been completed.
All staff should be trained and certified in CPR, first aid, operating a defibrillator and other life-saving techniques. In case of a medical emergency, staff must be prepared to describe their location to emergency personnel (address, building name, location of nearest entrance and room number, if applicable) and to assist them, if necessary. To ensure compliance, post this information by telephones and exits. Review CPR and emergency techniques monthly to help your staff become better prepared in case of a medical crisis.
