When Seconds Matter, Trained Employees Save Lives
Cardiac emergencies don't wait for paramedics to arrive. In the workplace, every second counts. When your employees know CPR and First Aid, they become the critical first line of defense that can mean the difference between life and death.
Protect Your Team
350,000+
350,000+ cardiac arrests occur annually outside hospitals. Cardiac emergencies don't wait for paramedics. When your employees know CPR & First Aid, they become the first line of defense.
2-3x higher
2-3x higher survival rates with immediate CPR. Yet less than half (46%) of bystanders will perform CPR. Trained employees act with confidence, knowing exactly what to do to keep someone alive until help arrives.
10,000+
10,000+ workplace cardiac arrests happen annually in the U.S. No industry is immune. Being prepared is essential for protecting your employees, customers, and business.
4-6 minutes
4-6 minutes is all it takes for brain damage to begin. Survival rates without CPR decrease by 10% as each minute passes. Your trained team can bridge that gap, performing CPR and using an AED before it's too late.
