Training for Immediate Response

Employers can build a safer workplace through CPR, AED and First Aid education

Annually, 436,000 Americans experience sudden cardiac arrest, 10,000 of which happen at work. Unfortunately, only 40% receive immediate help before professionals arrive. Proper CPR training significantly improves survival rates, doubling or tripling chances. To ensure workplace readiness, enroll your employees in courses that equip them to offer immediate care until advanced medical help arrives.
