Emergency Medical Response Training

Minutes can often mean the difference between life and death. Employees who have been trained in CPR, First Aid and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) can provide life saving emergency care prior to the arrival of professional responders.

FIRST IN Emergency Response Training instructors have an extensive background in professional emergency medical services. We emphasize hands-on, scenario based skills practice in real world settings to maximize the learning experience. This type of skills practice also allows for the development of strong team work and communication. In this “real-time” learning environment, students have the opportunity to apply their skills and adapt to a changing emergency environment if necessary, unlike structured classroom exercises.

Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)

FIRST IN Emergency Response Training offers certification options from Medic First Aid, the Int’l American Heart and Safety Institute or thru the American Heart Association.

Medic First Aid/ASHI
Medic First Aid and ASHI certification programs use an EMS based approach. Students will establish a core foundation of skills in classroom work, then use those skills in “real time” scenario-based practice.

FIRST IN Emergency Response Training offers a certification program for your in-house instructors through Medic First Aid/ASHI CPR or First Aid Programs.

CPR PRO for the Professional Rescuer is also offered to firefighters, healthcare providers and other first responders.
Approved American Heart Association Training Site
FIRST IN Emergency Response Training offers Heart Saver courses through AHA for the lay responder.

BLS Healthcare Provider Courses are also offered to firefighters, healthcare providers and other first responders.

Automated External Defibrillator (AED)

AEDs are found in public environments throughout the United States. Airlines, fitness centers, retail malls and many business and corporate organizations have available in the workplace AEDs. Studies show up to a 50% success rate of survival when AEDs are deployed within the first few minutes of cardiac arrest where ventricular fibrillation is indicated. AED training can be combined with CPR and First Aid Training.

First Aid

Medical emergencies, whether they are an illness or injury, are inevitable occurrences in the workplace. Trained emergency response teams can provide basic patient assessment, treatment, continued evaluation and patient support until professional responders arrive. First Aid training includes, but is not limited to:

Severe Bleeding
Seizures
Respiratory Distress
Chest Pain
Diabetic Episodes
Shock
Severe Allergic Reaction
Musculoskeletal Injuries
Altered Levels of Consciousness

FIRST IN Emergency Response Training provides basic to advanced first aid depending on your organizational goals.

Emergency Oxygen

Found in the air we breathe, oxygen is the most essential element the human body requires in order to live. When serious illness or injury occurs, the body’s ability to process oxygen can be compromised.

Medical authorities recommend the use of emergency oxygen during a medical emergency as there are no significant medical risks involved. Conditions that could benefit from emergency oxygen include:

Serious Bleeding
Difficulty Breathing
Chest Pain
Suspected internal injury
Seizures, Strokes, Diabetic Episodes
Cardiac Arrest
Altered Levels of Consciousness

FIRST IN Emergency Response Training provides initial and annual certification in the use of Emergency Oxygen.

Bloodborne Pathogens

OSHA has determined that some employees face a significant health risk as a result of occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials.

Recognition of the risk of exposure to disease through contact with human blood and other potentially infectious material is of vital importance to individuals who engage in occupational activities that require such contact.

The OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) requires annual training for all individuals who could potentially come in contact with bloodborne pathogens or other potentially infectious materials including emergency response team members, firefighters, healthcare providers, some types of laboratory workers and first responders.

FIRST IN Emergency Response Training provides initial and annual certification in Bloodborne Pathogens in the workplace.
