CLASSROOM

Q: What does AED stand for?
A: Automated External Defibrillator
Q: Do you follow the American Heart Association Guidelines?
A: The National Safety Council, American Heart Association, and American Red Cross are all required to follow the current OSHA First Aid standard 29 CFR 1910.151. The National Safety Council is currently the only organization that meets ALL OSHA guidelines.
Q: Why is the Enhanced First Aid / CPR / AED class so long?
A: The course is a combination of class videos, instructor demonstration, and student teach-backs. We cover 15 highly interactive lessons. Not all first aid and CPR courses are created equal and do the training in half the time. Many providers don't offer the comprehensive training needed to meet OSHA First Aid Standard 29 CFR 1910.151. Don't put your employees' safety at risk. Go with the expert in occupational first aid and CPR training.
