The Full Suite of Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC) Courseware

Improve Non-Clinical Staff Responses to Emergencies

According to the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), approximately 3.3 million injuries and illnesses occur annually in the workplace. That’s why it is important to include first aid training as part of your workplace safety program. With approximately 80 percent of sudden cardiac arrests occurring outside of a hospital, it is also important that employers offer CPR and AED training. Ensure that all employees know how to respond to adult, child, and infant cardiac and choking emergencies and apply basic first aid skills as needed.
