Do you need First Aid training? If you belong to one or more of the following groups, the answer is a definite YES.
First Aid Training
Be Prepared For Life’s Everyday Emergencies
Parents, Teachers, Child-Care Providers & Everyone else who works with kids
Children move very fast and don’t always make fantastic decisions. That’s part of the reason why 9.2 million kids wind up in the ER every year for unintentional injuries. If you’re a parent, teacher, or care provider, having First Aid training prepares you to quickly, competently, and compassionately deal with playground scrapes and bruises as well as more serious injuries. You’ll learn how to assess the child’s injuries and when to call 911. These courses are OSHA* & ILCOR compliant.
Anyone Who Has Co-Workers, Customers, Clients, or Colleagues
Accidents happen in the workplace all the time. Whether one of your co-workers trips and falls or a customer has a sudden serious nosebleed, you want to be ready to render the appropriate emergency First Aid. Prompt First Aid improves outcomes – up to and including saving lives. This course is OSHA* & ILCOR compliant.
People Who Want To Help Others In Need
We live in a dangerous world and sometimes people get hurt. First Response Training International’s First Aid Training will prepare you to render the appropriate assistance someone needs after an accident or injury until emergency personnel arrive. Providing First Aid makes the victim feel better and can help them achieve better health outcomes. In serious situations, First Aid can mean the difference between life and death.
Accidents and injuries can happen anywhere. Anyone can be hurt, from the smallest child to senior citizens. Being prepared with First Aid knowledge and skills means you’re always ready to help people in need and make a real positive difference in a bad situation. These courses are OSHA* & ILCOR compliant.
*The Occupational Safety and Health Administration is an agency of the United States Department of Labor.
OSHA’s standard for first aid training in general industry is listed in 1910.151, provides:
Medical services and first aid
(a)The employer shall ensure the ready availability of personnel for advice and consultation on matters of plant health.
(b)In the absence of an infirmary, clinic, or hospital in near proximity to the workplace which is used for the treatment of all injured employees, a person or persons shall be adequately trained to render first aid. Adequate first aid supplies shall be readily available.
In the construction industry specifically, 1926.50(c) provides:
In the absence of an infirmary clinic, hospital, or physician, that is reasonably accessible in terms of time and distance to the worksite, which is available for the treatment of injured employees, a person who has a valid certificate in first-aid training from the U.S. Bureau of Mines, the American Red Cross, or equivalent training that can be verified by documentary evidence, shall be available at the worksite to render first aid.
The bloodborne pathogens standard at 1910.1030(g)(2)
This requires employers to provide training to any employees who have occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials, such as employees assigned medical or first aid duties by their employers. The standard at 29 CFR 1910.1030(b) defines “occupational exposure” as “reasonably anticipated skin, eye, mucous membrane, or parenteral contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials that may result from the performance of an employee’s duties.” If an employee is trained in first aid and identified by the employer as responsible for rendering medical assistance as part of his/her job duties, that employee is covered by the bloodborne pathogens standard.
