CPR/First Aid Courses
The Chapter offers a variety of first aid and CPR courses during the day,
nights, and weekends. Last year, four per cent of our community's population
were trained in CPR and another two per cent were trained in first aid.
CPR courses teach students how to recognize and care for breathing and cardiac
emergencies. We teach CPR for adults, infants, and children. First Aid courses
teach students to identify and care for life-threatening bleeding, sudden
illness, and injuries.
CPR for the Professional Rescuer is recommended for public safety personnel,
athletic trainers, lifeguards, emergency response team members, first aid
station members, training academy participants. Students are taught to recognize
and care for breathing and cardiac emergencies; two rescuer CPR; and use
of resuscitation mask and bag-valve mask.
Most of our courses are taught by volunteer instructors. To become an instructor,
a person must take Instructor Candidate Training (8 hours) and the CPR/First
Aid Instructor Course (12 hours). The Chapter is always looking for more
volunteer instructors.

Workplace Health and Safety
Red Cross has been a leader in Health and Safety since 1909. Our courses
are reviewed by OSHA. Both large and small businesses have presented our
courses to meet OSHA requirements.
We use state-of-the-art instructional materials, developed according to current
scientific findings. Our sources include the National Academy of Sciences
and the Centers for Disease Control. Our trainings utilize question/answer
discussions, videos and hands-on practice.
We can conduct training on-site (for a minimum of 8) at your company seven
days a week. Once a date and time is set up, Red Cross provides all the supplies
and personnel. If you only have a few employees that need training, we have
open classes scheduled.
We can conduct an entire course or give a short presentation on health and
safety topics.
Our instructors are certified by the Red Cross and have health education
or nursing backgrounds. All of our courses are a proven way to improve employees'
morale, overall health and performance.
Our courses can help reduce absenteeism, unnecessary risks and long- and
short-term disability losses by encouraging accident prevention, correct
emergency response and general safety measures.
For further information, or to arrange a training opportunity for your company
or business, please contact Chuck King at chuck@redcrosselmira.org |
