Workplace Training with the Biggest Possible ROI: Saving a Life!

Workplace Training with the Biggest Possible ROI: Saving a Life!

                                                          The skills we teach our employees rarely have much cross-over or impact in our personal lives. One skill you can arm your workers with that will be valuable from every angle is the ability to help save someone’s life.  Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., claiming over half a million lives each year. 88% of those deaths occur when someone suffers from cardiac arrest outside of a hospital, because most bystanders don’t have any CPR knowledge. Everyone knows to call 911, but a lot can happen before paramedics arrive.  Brain death begins 4-6 minutes after the heart stops “breathing.” CPR helps keep blood flowing to vital organs and lowers the chances of permanent damage. If CPR is started within the first two minutes of a cardiac event, that person’s chances of survival double.  Training your employees in first aid is also incredibly valuable both inside and outside of work. Having the knowledge to treat everyday injuries like burns and lacerations, spotting concussions, and stopping a bleed could save a life or prevent serious, lifelong damage.  Employees are statistically more likely to utilize these skills outside of work, but arming them with the knowledge to help in any arena is invaluable.

Is Our Company Required To Train Employees in First Aid and CPR?

One question that our safety team gets across nearly all industries is, “Am I required to have my employees certified to perform first aid and CPR?” OSHA requires that in the absence of an infirmary, clinic, or hospital within near proximity to the workplace – one or more staff members should be adequately trained to provide first aid. While the standards do not specify exactly how close by, OSHA has long interpreted the term "near proximity" to mean that emergency care must be available within no more than 3-4 minutes from the workplace. One option these standards provide employers is to ensure that a member of the workforce has been trained in first aid. This option is a feasible and low-cost way to protect employees, as well as putting the employer clearly in compliance with the standards. OSHA recommends that every workplace include one or more employees who are trained and certified in first aid, including CPR. While AED training is not specifically addressed or required by the standard, including that in your CPR training is recommended.   The team at Spooner Safety will now be offering first aid and CPR training to businesses that would like to certify members of their team as either a requirement or best practice.
