Free CPR and AED training available for employees

January 19, 2016 by Leave a Comment

Would you know what to do in a cardiac or breathing emergency? The right answer could help you save a life. With a mixture of classroom and hands-on learning, Shoreline Fire Department personnel will begin providing a two-hour course to give you the skills to potentially save a life.

Consider these facts:

  • There are 220,000 victims of sudden cardiac arrest per year in the United States; about 10,000 sudden cardiac arrests occur at work
  • Waiting for the arrival of emergency medical system personnel results in only a 5-7 percent survival rate.
  • Paramedics can take eight to 12 minutes to arrive, but someone suffering sudden cardiac arrest needs help immediately.
  • 75 percent of all out-of-hospital heart attacks happen at home

Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in the workplace save lives. An AED is a medical device designed to analyze the heart rhythm and deliver an electric shock to victims of ventricular fibrillation to restore the heart rhythm to normal. A bystander with access to an AED can greatly improve the chance of survival. The college has recently purchased eight new AED machines, for a total now of 12 on campus. Learn where they are on campus and how to use them.

FRIDAY, JAN. 29 – 1:30-3:30 p.m., Room 3002

The course, free to Shoreline employees, will include a certification card. The training is voluntary, requiring supervisory permission to attend. Class size is limited and your pre-registration is required. Wear comfortable clothing.  If a class is full, you will be placed on a waitlist for a cancellation or coming class.
