Safety Training Courses

Participants in the Basic Life Support course may demonstrate the primary assessment and the CPR skill as they would perform it in their environment of care. For example, depending on their scope of practice, they may demonstrate the primary assessment and CPR skill on an elevated surface that is firm, flat and stable which would be used in the scope of their care, such as a hospital bed or stretcher. Or they may demonstrate these skills on the ground.

With a half-million cardiac arrests each year, CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) can help save a life if a person's breathing or heart stops. It's not just for healthcare workers and emergency responders. In fact, CPR can double or triple the chance of survival when bystanders take action.
