In any environment, safety is a top priority. Whether you work in an office, participate in sports and athletics, volunteer at a local nursing home, or educate college students, there’s no better way to ensure safety and protection than to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training to your group. Our experienced trainers will come to your location for a seamless way to get everyone CPR certified at the same time. We provide classes to the Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Sioux City, Iowa areas for your convenience.
Why Onsite CPR Courses Are So Important
Cardiac arrest is one of the top causes of death in the United States. It can happen to anyone, regardless of their health history. Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is particularly serious because it’s hard to recognize the cause of the victim’s emergency.
When a person goes into cardiac arrest, they often spontaneously collapse because their heart has stopped pumping blood to the rest of their body. SCA occurs without warning signs. It’s typically caused by an interruption to the electrical functions that keep the heart going, but it can also be caused by accidents like electrical shock, drowning or blunt force to the chest.
When a person experiences SCA or a heart attack, it’s imperative to administer CPR as soon as possible. CPR should be performed while another bystander is calling 911. Emergency responders are fast when it comes to this type of medical emergency, but a victim of a heart attack may only have minutes to live if CPR is not administered. You can empower your employees, colleagues, students, and teammates by giving the benefit of the lifesaving skills we teach.
Benefits of CPR Training
Your team will appreciate the extra benefit of learning the basic skills required to perform CPR. Each of our students that complete the course will receive a certification card that shows they have received training in using CPR to save lives. This hands-on course allows for one-on-one instruction in an environment that is familiar to your group, so they will absorb the material faster and learn quickly. We not only train your team to be ready for emergencies, but we help you to become confident in the case an emergency arises.
Our CPR training course lays the groundwork for higher-level training in emergency response. We are available to teach on-site courses for first aid training and basic life support, including information about bloodborne pathogens, automated external defibrillators (AED) and other safety training. There’s no limit to what your crew can learn when offered a chance to take our in-depth courses.
Let us help you be prepared for whatever comes your way. Our certified trainers are available to ensure your worksite meets OSHA requirements, and our work is recognized by the American Red Cross. We provide management services and consultation for all of your workplace safety needs.
