A safe employee is a productive employee. Providing your employees with CPR, AED, and First Aid training shows them that you care about their health and wellbeing.

These vital skills can mean the difference between life and death for victims of cardiac arrest and other medical conditions. By receiving this training, your employees will have the confidence to respond effectively during emergencies.
Why Iowa CPR and AED Training Is Important
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is one of the leading causes of death in the United States. According to the American Heart Association, it is responsible for between 250,000 and 400,000 deaths each year. When a person experiences sudden cardiac arrest, their chance of survival decreases by 7-10% for each minute that goes by. A challenge with saving SCA victims is that there is often a lag before emergency medical technicians arrive. The more trained bystanders there are, the more opportunities there will be for SCA victims to survive.
Employees who receive CPR and AED training will be prepared to save the lives of not only coworkers, but also friends, family members, or complete strangers. CPR involves chest compressions and rescue breathing to sustain a victim while waiting for help to arrive. AEDs, or automated external defibrillators, are portable devices that send an electric shock to the victim’s heart to restore a heartbeat. AEDs are also an important part of emergency response programs. When a victim’s heart goes into ventricular fibrillation during sudden cardiac arrest, the only way to prevent imminent death is through the use of an AED because it electrically shocks the heart into a normal rhythm.
First Aid Training in Iowa: Part of a Comprehensive Workplace Safety Program
While there’s no way to entirely prevent accidents in the workplace, you can effectively manage them when they do occur by providing your employees with basic First Aid training. First Aid training can really come in handy when minor accidents take place in the workplace, or if more serious emergencies occur and you’re waiting for professional help to arrive.
With First Aid training, supervisors and employees alike will be in a better position to protect victims and provide temporary relief in dangerous situations. Proper safety training makes for happier, more confident employees because it arms them the knowledge to react in a timely and efficient manner.
