OSHA requires each employer/contractor to have a person who is trained in basic first aid and CPR when it is not possible to provide advanced care within a reasonable timeframe. This class provides hands-on instruction on basic first-aid topics such as bleeding control, caring for shock, sudden illnesses, heat stress, heart attack, and stroke. It also reviews proper personal protective procedures to reduce exposure to bloodborne pathogens while responding to medical emergencies and the use of automated external defibrillators (AED). Upon completion, each student will receive a certification card that is valid for two years.
