Life-Saving Skills: First Aid Training for CPR & AED Use
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and automated external defibrillators (AEDs) are crucial in emergencies, often making the difference between life and death. Immediate CPR, as per the American Heart Association (AHA), can double or triple survival chances post cardiac arrest. When coupled with AED usage, survival rates significantly increase. This course is tailored to impart comprehensive CPR and AED skills, empowering participants to act effectively during cardiac emergencies.
Key Learning Objectives
This course aims to equip participants with vital knowledge and practical skills in CPR and AED use. Topics covered include:
- Understanding the basics of the human cardiovascular system
- Techniques for performing hands-only and traditional CPR for adults
- Safe and efficient operation of an AED device
- Emphasizing the importance of swift response in cardiac emergencies
- Role of CPR and AEDs in the chain of survival
Ideal for individuals ranging from laypersons to healthcare professionals, the First Aid: CPR & AED course prepares participants to confidently respond to cardiac emergencies in community or workplace settings.

In both the US and globally, chemical spills pose severe risks, causing injuries, environmental harm, and operational disruptions. Immediate and proper handling of these incidents is crucial to safeguard workers, communities, and the environment. Adequate training becomes imperative in guiding appropriate responses during such emergencies.
A chemical spill encompasses the unintended release of liquid, solid, or gaseous chemicals, often stemming from equipment malfunctions, human errors, or unforeseen circumstances. Regardless of the chemical's nature or hazard levels, knowing how to respond to diverse spills is fundamental for safety and averting further disasters.
Key Learning Objectives
This course aims to equip individuals with safe practices for responding to chemical spills effectively. By course completion, participants will learn to:
- Understand the critical role of Safety Data Sheets (SDS) in spill response
- Implement proper containment strategies for varying spill types
- Effectively utilize spill kits and their components
- Manage post-spill cleanup and waste disposal in compliance with regulations
- Appropriately use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) during spill responses
This training is indispensable for current and future employees and supervisors operating in areas involving the storage, handling, or transportation of chemicals.
Across various industries, workers are often required to enter confined spaces – areas not designed for continuous occupancy and limited means for entry and exit. These spaces, due to their design and potential for hazardous atmospheres, present unique risks. Mishandling a confined space entry can lead to serious injuries or fatalities. Proper knowledge, training, and equipment are essential for ensuring the safety of personnel involved in these operations.
A confined space might include tanks, silos, storage bins, vaults, pits, manholes, tunnels, equipment housings, and other similar areas. Hazards in these spaces can range from lack of oxygen, presence of toxic gasses, engulfment risks, to physical dangers like moving parts.
Learning Objectives
- Recognize potential hazards associated with confined space entry
- Understand the importance and process of obtaining a confined space entry permit
- Determine atmospheric conditions using testing and monitoring equipment
- Implement safety procedures for entry, work, and exit from confined spaces
- Utilize appropriate rescue and emergency procedures in the event of an incident
- Properly select and use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and entry equipment
- Maintain effective communication with entrants, attendants, and emergency personnel
This course is vital for current and future workers, supervisors, safety officers, and anyone involved in operations that require confined space entry.
On construction sites, a single story often reaches an average height of 14 feet. Despite seeming modest, falls from such heights can lead to severe injuries; 4 out of 5 falls from over 11 feet result in fatalities. Shockingly, workplace falls caused 1,008 fatalities in 2018, with 33.5% occurring in construction, making fatal falls OSHA's top job site accident. However, these tragedies are entirely preventable.
Key Learning Objectives
This course aims to educate workers about safe practices when working at heights in construction. Participants will learn:
- Proper utilization of personal fall arrest systems
- Inspection and selection of safety harnesses and lanyards
- Identification and selection of secure anchorage points
- Recognition of specific fall hazards
- Engagement in accident prevention on job sites
The Fall Protection awareness simulation targets employees and supervisors engaged in construction environments, ensuring enhanced safety measures.
