5 Benefits of Onsite CPR Training https://www.oceansidecpr.com/blog/bls-classes/5-benefits-of-onsite-cpr-training/ Wed, 15 Jul 2015 21:39:35 +0000 https://www.oceansidecpr.com/?p=5190 5 Benefits of Onsite CPR Training

Do you provide corporate onsite CPR training for your employees and coworkers? If not, you should think about looking into CPR training programs and seeing if it’s something that your employees would be interested in. CPR training is important and useful for everyone, no matter their age or profession. The skills were once limited to lifeguards and medical professionals, but now more and more people are learning how to perform CPR because of the great benefits that the training can provide. Here are some of the biggest benefits of corporate onsite CPR training. If you’re interested in providing training to your employees, contact us today.

  1. Giving Your Employees Confidence

The idea of being thrust in a situation where you have to save someone’s life is very intimidating for most people. Without an understanding of CPR and training, many people feel helpless in these situations, and even if these situations never occur, the fact that they don’t know how to act can make them less confident. After completing CPR training, your employees will feel more confident because they know that they could potentially save someone’s life during an emergency.

  1. Team-Building and Leadership

Whenever your team has to work together, learn something new, and take on a new task, it’s a great opportunity for team-building in the office. Office safety is a fantastic project that can bring together employees from different departments and parts of an office, allowing them to collaborate and work together. Corporate onsite CPR training and first aid training can be part of these types of projects, or can be a great way to kick off an office safety program.

  1. AED and First Aid Training

CPR programs do not focus solely on how to provide CPR. These programs can also teach your employees how to provide first aid and how to use an automated external defibrillator. This type of training will give your employees the skills to respond in any type of emergency situation in the workplace.

  1. Saving Lives at Work

Ultimately, you provide corporate onsite CPR training so that your employees can use it if there is ever an emergency. Immediate CPR and defibrillation can be the difference between someone living or dying, so it’s extremely important that someone nearby is trained and ready to help. Only about 10% of people who suffer sudden cardiac arrest are able to survive by the time they reach the hospital. Providing CPR and defibrillation correctly and right away can double or even triple a person’s chance of surviving.

  1. CPR for Families and Children

Not only will CPR training make the office safer, it will also make your employees’ homes much safer in the event of an emergency. Almost 90% of sudden cardiac arrests occur in the home, and with the proper training, your employees will be able to perform CPR on loved ones and family members. This type of training is especially important if family members have heart problems or if there are young children in the household. If a child has an issue, someone trained in CPR will know how to adjust the technique to make it more effective on a child.

These are just a few of the many benefits of corporate onsite CPR training. Your employees will be very grateful to you for providing corporate onsite CPR training, and the program will be very beneficial for your organization as well. Corporate onsite CPR training programs can be customized to include AED and first aid training, and they can be scheduled to be more convenient for a busy office with lots of deadlines. Contact us for more information.

Maintaining an up-to-date CPR certification is often a requirement for many employers in the state of New Jersey. At Oceanside CPR we offer flexible training options to get your staff certified quickly and efficiently. As an American Heart Association authorized training site, we offer CPR training classes that are based on the latest AHA guidelines.

Our corporate CPR training classes in New Jersey will fully certify all of your employees and are designed for anyone no matter what their medical background is. We are a leading provider of CPR classes in the region, and our experienced trainers will train your staff with all of the knowledge and hands on skills that they need to be fully certified by the American Heart Association and to meet New Jersey state requirements.

Training can be performed right in your office

One major benefit of working with Oceanside CPR is the fact that we can come to your office and train your group directly on site. This saves your staff the hassle of having to travel to receive their training, and it will save your company both time and money.

You get to pick the time for the classes so that your staff can train when you are not busy and when they are the most relaxed. This will ensure that your company stays at maximum productivity while your staff completes their CPR training requirements. Our group training is perfect for any size of corporation, and we have extensive experience with training large groups. We will ensure that your staff is trained as quickly as possible so that they can have the credentials they need.

Save money with discounted rates

When you sign up a large group for your corporation, you can save a significant amount of money compared individual classes. Group training is just as effective as individual training, but your organization will spend a much lower amount on the group classes. You can expect to save up to $150 per individual depending on how much training you need.

By taking care of all of your CPR certification requirements at once, your staff won’t have to go out and obtain individual training on their own, which can be a hassle for them. Also, if you schedule a recertification group class in the future you will save money again when your organization needs to recertify, and this can be a convenient way to ensure that everyone maintains their certified status.

Once a crisis has occurred it may be too late to wish that you had been more prepared. The onset of an attack may be sudden without any prior signs or symptoms. Professional help may not be readily accessible, so it is important for everyone to be trained in CPR. Because 80% of cardiac arrests occur at home, having a trained family member could be the difference between life and death.

Life can be very hectic these days and it can be difficult to carve out time for extra classes or activities, but the importance of life saving onsite CPR training cannot be overstated. Because of our commitment to saving lives, Oceanside CPR will come to your home or your office to give classes. This makes it easier for coworkers and family members to have the training and skills that will allow them to be able to help others in a time of crisis.

The convenience of onsite training makes scheduling easier and the classes can be conducted in a comfortable environment that causes less stress and anxiety. You get to choose what works best for you. Many professions require regular CPR certification and having onsite training available is one option that can keep your certifications up to date without struggling to find a class that fits into your busy schedule.

Onsite CPR training is one way that we strive to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to learn and practice a technique that has been proven to save lives. It is a perfect way for employers to educate their staff in the office and it is ideal for busy professionals and individuals from all walks of life to ensure that they have the abilities needed to assist another in case of an emergency.

911 dispatcher saves a life over phone with step-by-step CPR coaching https://www.oceansidecpr.com/blog/cpr-tips-information/911-dispatcher-saves-life-phone-step-step-cpr-coaching/ https://www.oceansidecpr.com/blog/cpr-tips-information/911-dispatcher-saves-life-phone-step-step-cpr-coaching/#respond Sat, 06 Sep 2014 11:23:54 +0000 https://www.oceansidecpr.com/?p=3968 On Aug. 8, Paula Sanderson was hit with the worst asthma attack of her life.

“I was completely unable to breathe,” she said. “I felt myself losing consciousness. The last thing I remember thinking was how ironic it would be to die from an asthma attack.”

That’s when it all went black and she fell to the floor.

Luckily her spouse, Kris Sanderson, was home at the time. She immediately grabbed the phone and dialed 911. At the Mountlake Terrace SNOCOM 911 dispatch center, the phone rang on trainee Angela Presley’s desk.

“Help, help, help!” came through the speaker. “She’s turning blue, what do I do?”

Although Presley had been on the job only eight weeks at SNOCOM — South Snohomish County’s emergency and public safety communication center — she and her trainer Stephanie Gamm knew just what to do: get the patient breathing and get oxygen to the brain immediately. And that meant talking Kris through administering CPR.

“Put her on her back,” Presley instructed. “Put your hands on her chest, keep your arms straight and press down as hard as you can. Now you’re going give her a series of chest compressions. Count with me: 1-2-3-4, 1-2-3-4…”

Thanks to Presley’s calm, persistent instruction, Kris had Paula breathing on her own when the emergency medical technicians arrived. They stabilized her, and rushed her to Swedish/Edmonds, where she spent the next two hours in the trauma center. Several days later she was released to resume the life that had almost been taken from her.

Today, just one month after that Aug. 8 phone call, Kris and Paula Sanderson visited the 911 center and met Angela Presley face-to-face for the first time. It was a tearful, emotional meeting.

“How do you thank someone who saved your life,” sobbed Paula.

“Having Angela on the other end of that phone was my lifeline,” said Kris. “It was like she was standing right there next to me and we were doing it together.”

One big thing the couple came away with is the value of CPR training.

“Everyone needs to know this,” said Kris. “When you stop breathing, you’ve got 30-60 seconds before brain cells start to die. There’s no time to sit and ponder. You need to keep a clear head and act immediately.”

Presley echoed this. “Every second counts,” she said. “The most important things are to start immediately, keep calm, focus, and call 911 to give your location.”

According to Presley it’s a common misconception that CPR is mostly administered to victims you don’t know. “Ninety percent of CPR resuscitations are administered in your home for someone you know, not a stranger on the street,” she said.

For the Sandersons, it’s been a life-changing experience.

“It’s really driven home how fragile life is,” said Paula. “Something like this makes you appreciate the things in life that are really important.”

Get Certified: 4 Reasons BLS Training is Essential for your Staff https://www.oceansidecpr.com/blog/bls-classes/get-certified-4-reasons-bls-training-essential-staff/ https://www.oceansidecpr.com/blog/bls-classes/get-certified-4-reasons-bls-training-essential-staff/#respond Fri, 22 Aug 2014 10:46:39 +0000 https://www.oceansidecpr.com/?p=3926 As a business owner or manager, you already expect the unexpected. You have a 5 year business plan, a well structured budget and a rock solid sales and marketing strategy. You know your star team can shine in their respective departments but are they ready to save a life? CPR/AED training is one step you can take to give your staff an edge. Here are 4 reasons BLS training is essential for your and your team:

Better Safe than Sorry

Just because the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recommends that CPR training be an element of your first aid program isn’t the only reason to enroll in a CPR course. With these training, your business can provide a safer work environment, and increased morale among your staff.

Safety Saves… Money

Training your staff in basic life support can help lower your insurance risk and premiums. Insurers want you to be prepared for the worst. If you can demonstrate that you’ve taken steps to reduce your risk then it may be possible to negotiate lower rates with your insurance company.

Marketable Skills 

Your staff will appreciate the opportunity to brush up on their skills. Certifications keep team members relevant and can improve their marketability for things like promotions and conferences. Staff will also appreciate knowing that they are prepared for emergencies both in and outside of the workplace.

Peace of Mind is Priceless

Between reports, meetings and endless emails it is easy to forget how disruptive a sudden emergency can be to morale and productivity. BLS training can’t prevent life-threatening emergencies but preparedness can help ease tensions and even save lives. You and your staff will rest easy and with confidence that you can handle whatever comes your way.

Oceanside CPR provides relaxed, comfortable and customized training options for individuals, businesses and organizations throughout New Jersey. Oceanside makes the process easy, we come to you! Please contact us for more information on our onsite training options and take the first step towards preparedness.

Do Not Rely on Online Training to Learn CPR in NJ https://www.oceansidecpr.com/blog/cpr-classes/rely-online-training-learn-cpr-nj/ https://www.oceansidecpr.com/blog/cpr-classes/rely-online-training-learn-cpr-nj/#respond Mon, 04 Aug 2014 13:44:45 +0000 https://www.oceansidecpr.com/?p=3801 With the internet it is possible to learn many things without leaving the comfort of your home. Often people teach themselves a hobby such as how to play an instrument or how to knit online. The Rainbow Loom craze introduced many people to YouTube instructional videos to learn how to make a variety of bracelet and necklace designs. Although it is possible to learn many skills online, CPR training is not recommended for online training.

To actually learn a skill practice is required. When playing a musical instrument, knitting, or making a bracelet it is easy to reference the internet and then practice until the skill is mastered. Mistakes made will be learned from during the process. CPR training, on the other hand, does not lend itself to practice without the proper training equipment. It is not safe to practice chest compressions on a healthy human and most people don’t have a CPR manikin on hand. Therefore CPR skills will not be mastered by viewing an online training video.

Research has shown that knowledge is retained when CPR is taught by a ‘practice while watching’ technique. This means the person taking the class learns the method, practices on the manikin and receives feedback from an instructor observing them practice. In addition, practice on a manikin allows the student to feel what it is like to properly compress a chest and apply breaths. How much force is required? What is the proper airflow? The feedback from the instructor helps the student refine their technique appropriately. None of this learning occurs when an online video is the only method of training.

Finally the information obtained from an online video may be outdated. CPR standards are continuously updated as researchers determine the best method for saving a life. There is no guarantee you are learning the current method if you are obtaining your information from an online video.

Many people argue they don’t have time to locate and attend a CPR class. Oceanside CPR believes anyone and everyone should be educated in CPR. Therefore Oceanside CPR is willing to provide onsite training. We will come to you! Contact us to learn more.
