CPR, First Aid & AED Training
Create a safer workplace for your employees by training them to respond effectively in an emergency.
Training to Save Lives
Employers are required by OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.151 to have a person or persons adequately trained to render first aid for work sites that are not in near proximity to an infirmary, clinic, or hospital (Source: OSHA.gov)
OSHA’s interpretation of “Near Proximity” for emergency medical services is 3 to 4 minutes. The average response time for external services is about 12 minutes. Having well trained employees with the skills and equipment to react quickly will save lives. We conduct training onsite and as site specific as possible to make this training relevant to your employees. A group of people trained together in CPR and First Aid will help each other in an emergency, and will cope much better during and after the incident.
How the CPR, First Aid, & AED Training Programs Work
Identify Employees
Identify employees who are willing and able to respond to medical emergencies and engage them to be active participants in your company’s safety program and/or emergency response team.
Conduct Classes
We will conduct an on-site CPR, First Aid, and AED Class to provide training and certification so your responders have the confidence and skills to know what to do in a medical emergency.
Implement AED Program
Consider implementing an AED program in your company. We can help with selecting, obtaining, installing, and maintaining equipment in your facility so you are compliant with state regulations regarding AED’s.
Maintain Your Program
DFW Safety & First Aid will monitor your certifications, notify you when recertifications are due, conduct recertification training and training for new hires, and assist with your AED program management.
Critical Training for Your Workplace
Lifesaving Skills
Providing life saving skills to your employees says that you not only care about your employees and their families, it also prepares your employees to react quickly and confidently in the event of a medical emergency in your business. Sudden Cardiac Arrest is one of the leading causes of death in the workplace. Sudden illness such as stroke, breathing difficulties, and hypoglycemic events are commonplace. Your employees will have the knowledge and skills to help a fellow co-worker while waiting for emergency services to arrive.
Good Business, Strong Teams
OSHA requires employers to provide training for employees to respond to medical emergencies in the absence of medical care in near proximity to the workplace. Avoid costly fines and reduce civil liabilities by ensuring that your staff has the skills and knowledge to do everything they can to help an injured or ill employee in those critical minutes before emergency personnel arrive. Safety training is a real-world, very practical team building exercise for your employees that can yield tangible benefits for your company.
