SAFETY TRAINING & CERTIFICATIONS


  

First Aid/CPR Training

 

Worldwide, for every second that passes, 10 people are injured; many of which occur in the industrial and construction industries.  For every additional 10 seconds someone in the world dies due to an accidental injury.  The goal of this 4-hour course is to prevent these injuries and deaths by focusing on safe practices both at work and at home.  Once an injury or sudden illness has occurred, effective emergency care can often make the difference between life and death, rapid versus prolonged recovery and temporary versus permanent disability.  Students will receive an intense and complete basic first-aid course and will be issued a first-aid card upon completion of this course a valuable credential recognized in the construction industry.  Return to top...
