If a family member, child, or infant has a first aid or cardiac emergency, would you recognize the signs and be able to respond quickly and appropriately? According to the occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), approximately four million injuries and illnesses occur annually in the workplace, and nearly 80 percent of sudden cardiac arrests occur outside the hospital. The American Heart Association’s First Aid and CPR/AED (Automated External Defibrillator) interactive workshops, however, help increase survival rates by teaching you lifesaving skills.
