Many business provide health and safety training in the workplace – but something is often overlooked…
Even though 25% of all emergency room visits can be avoided with basic first aid and CPR certification…
Having trained employees can make a substantial difference in your ability to maintain a safe work environment.
As your staff become more prepared and responsive – they also become more aware of their surroundings and more likely to spot potential hazards.
This aids in developing a safety culture!
Adequate first aid training is not optional. It is required by OSHA:
In the absence of an infirmary, clinic, or hospital in near proximity 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.

You can tailor the program to your workplace, current risk management strategy, financial capability, and industry.
First aid kit should be examined regularly to replace expired items or those supplies that have been used up.
If you have AEDs on site – be aware that they do have shelf lives, even when they have not been used.
Each device is different, so follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for maintenance and servicing.
The cost of first aid and CPR training for your workforce is minimal compared to the benefits it can bring.
