The Importance of First Aid and CPR Training in the Workplace
Benefits of First Aid Training for Employees
- It saves lives: First aid training provides your staff with the confidence and capability to react immediately to an incident, injury or illness. In the event of a medical emergency, when properly trained, a fellow employee can administer basic medical treatment or CPR (as needed). It’s been proven that CPR aid provided during critical and life-threatening accidents, injuries or health complications in the workplace saves lives.
- First aid kits will have what is needed: Not only does first aid training teach your employees how to respond to a medical emergency, but it also teaches them exactly what should be in the first aid kit.
