in Place?

Start the new year off right with CPR Training. CPR – or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation – is an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating. Immediate CPR can double or triple chances of survival after cardiac arrest. Be ready and train your employees to learn critical information that could help save a life.

There are about 10,000 cardiac arrests in the workplace each year in the United States, according to a report from the US Occupational Safety & Health Administration.
Did you know: only 50% of people can locate an automated external defibrillator (AED) at work?
With 10,000 cardiac arrests annually in the workplace, knowing this small piece of information has the potential to save thousands of lives.
