About this session
A practical program that prepares employees to respond quickly to a possible cardiac emergency at work.
It moves from recognizing an emergency, to hands-on CPR and AED practice, to realistic scenarios and training workplace champions who keep readiness going.
Modules can be booked on their own, but the full pathway builds a shared, practiced response across employees, managers, facilities and response teams. It is awareness and practice training, not a certification unless an accredited course is added.
What your people take away
- Recognize a possible cardiac emergency and act
