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.
