The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) estimates that about 15 people die each day of workplace-related injuries or illnesses per year. If you or a co-worker have an emergency at work, CPR training can be the difference between life and death. With the proper certification, you’re prepared to save a life.
No matter where you work – or even if you plan on being around someone who might need CPR – having this training and certification is necessary.

According to statistics collected by The American Heart Association, effective CPR could save an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 lives of adults and children each year if CPR were performed early enough.
