CPR and First Aid Training Courses
BLS Course
The AHA’s BLS Course is designed for healthcare professionals and personnel who need to master CPR certification and other basic cardiovascular life support skills in various in-facility and prehospital settings. This course is a fundamental part of the BLS ACLS PALS courses offered, teaching high-quality CPR for adults, children, and infants, along with essential First Aid training.
ACLS Course
The AHA’s ACLS course builds on the foundation of lifesaving BLS skills, highlighting the critical importance of preventing cardiac arrest, delivering early and continuous high-quality CPR, and fostering high-performing teams. This course not only prepares participants for advanced life support but also aligns with the latest science and educational standards from the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care (ECC), making it an essential part of BLS ACLS PALS courses and CPR certification, alongside First Aid training.
PALS Course
The American Heart Association PALS course is specifically designed for medical providers, including physicians, nurses, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, paramedics, and respiratory therapists. These professionals often require training in BLS, ACLS, and PALS courses to effectively participate in the resuscitation of pediatric patients, whether in or out of the hospital. Additionally, this course complements other essential training such as CPR certification and First Aid training.
Heartsaver Course
The AHA’s Heartsaver courses are designed for anyone with little or no medical training who needs first aid training and/or CPR certification, as well as a course completion card to meet job, regulatory (e.g., OSHA), or other licensing requirements. Additionally, Heartsaver courses can be beneficial for anyone who wants to be prepared to act in an emergency, complementing other essential training like BLS ACLS PALS courses.
OSHA AWARENESS
OSHA Awareness Training Classes are designed to educate students about hazards in the workplace. Any student may encounter various hazardous situations, and this class enhances their awareness to prevent accidents and injuries. Additionally, students can benefit from BLS ACLS PALS courses and CPR certification, as well as First Aid training, which further equips them to handle emergencies effectively.
Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) Course
Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) provide essential out-of-hospital emergency medical care and transportation for critical and emergent patients who access the emergency medical services (EMS) system. EMTs possess the fundamental knowledge and skills necessary to stabilize and safely transport patients, whether they are involved in non-emergency routine medical transports or facing life-threatening emergencies. To enhance their capabilities, many EMTs complete BLS ACLS PALS courses, ensuring they are well-prepared for various scenarios. Additionally, CPR certification and First Aid training are vital components of their training, equipping them to handle emergencies effectively. Emergency Medical Technicians function as part of a comprehensive EMS response system, operating under medical oversight while performing interventions with basic equipment typically found on an ambulance. They serve as a critical link between the scene of an emergency and the broader health care system.
Classes
Construction Industry OSHA Awareness Classes
OSHA and record keeping are essential for workplace safety, especially when it comes to Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Additionally, training in CPR certification and First Aid training is crucial for responding to emergencies involving fire, exits, extinguishers, and an emergency action plan. Understanding electricity and lockout/tagout procedures, as well as confined space safety, is vital. Proper use of tools and equipment, along with fall protection, can prevent accidents. Hazard communication is key to informing employees about risks, while awareness of cranes, struck-by and caught-in hazards, trench excavation, and materials handling ensures a safer work environment. For those looking to enhance their skills, BLS, ACLS, and PALS courses can provide advanced training in emergency response.
General Industry OSHA Awareness Classes
OSHA and Record Keeping are essential components of workplace safety, alongside Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) training. Organizations should also emphasize the importance of Fire, Exit, Extinguishers, and Emergency Action Plans. Key safety protocols include Electricity and Lockout Tagout procedures, Machine Guarding, and robust Safety and Health Programs. Additionally, attention must be given to Walking and Working Surfaces, including Fall Protection measures, as well as Hazard Communication. Training in Ergonomics is vital, and employees should be educated on Noise and Hearing Conservation. To further enhance workplace safety, First Aid training is crucial, which can be complemented by CPR certification and BLS ACLS PALS courses for comprehensive emergency response preparedness. Awareness of Bloodborne Pathogens, along with proper Forklift and Material Handling techniques, also plays a significant role in ensuring a safe working environment.
