Heartsaver First Aid
According to the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA), approximately 4 million injuries and illnesses occur annually in the workplace. Heartsaver First Aid is a classroom, video-based, instructor-led course that teaches students critical skills to respond to and manage an emergency in the first few minutes until the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrives. In this course, students learn skills such as how to treat bleeding, sprains, broken bones, shock and other first aid emergencies.
Heartsaver First Aid teaches skills with the AHA's research-proven Practice-While-Watching technique, which allows instructors to observe the students, provide feedback and guide the students' learning of skills.
Upon successful completion, including a skills test, students receive a Heartsaver First Aid course completion card, valid for two years.
The course includes:
- Key changes reflecting new science from the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care.
- First aid basics.
- Medical emergencies.
- Injury emergencies.
- Environmental emergencies
- Optional written test.
This course is for anyone with limited or no medical training who needs a course completion card in first aid to meet job, regulatory or other requirements.
This course is also for anyone who desires to learn these life-saving skills, whatever the reason.
First aid is part of an effective safety program. Through our Heartsaver First Aid course, your employees will have the confidence and skills to respond to a variety of emergencies!
