According to OSHA, 6,000 people die from workplace injuries every year, and nearly 12 injuries occur in a workplace every minute. Are your employees prepared to respond to an injured co-worker or customer immediately and with the confidence that comes from being trained in lifesaving CPR and first aid? It can mean the difference between life and death.
Flexible Training Options—It’s Your Choice!
Whether you need to train just a couple or many employees in locations across the country, the Red Cross can help. We can provide high-quality safety training when and where you need it, through one point of contact. Choose from the following training options:
Option 1:
A Red Cross instructor can come to your facility
and train your employees at a time that works for you—
daytime, evenings or weekends.
Option 2:
Become an authorized provider and have staff
members trained as Red Cross instructors to provide first aid,
CPR and AED training on-site. This cost-effective option
allows you to schedule training when and where you need it
with instructors familiar with your specific emergency procedures.
Option 3:
For those businesses that have only a few employees
who need training, your local Red Cross chapter has classes
available at community locations.
