Why Group CPR & First Aid Training Matters
Emergencies can happen anywhere – at work, in a daycare center, during a sports practice, or at home. Having trained individuals on-site can make the difference between life and death when every minute counts. Life Saving Certifiers empowers teams of five or more with valuable, hands-on training that not only meets workplace requirements, but builds confidence and saves lives.
Whether you’re an HR manager, school administrator, or healthcare provider, providing your staff with certified CPR and First Aid training shows your commitment to safety and preparedness.
What Is an AED and How Does It Work?
The Numbers Tell the Story
- The chance of survival decreases by 7–10% with every minute that passes without defibrillation.
- When an AED is used within the first few minutes, survival rates can jump as high as 60–70%.
In public settings where AEDs are accessible and people are trained to act, outcomes improve dramatically. It’s not an exaggeration to say that placing one device in the right location can be the difference between life and death.
The Numbers Tell the Story
Every business is different, but general best practices include placing AEDs in:
- High-traffic areas like lobbies, break rooms, or cafeterias
- Near gyms, pools, or fitness centers if present
- Areas with high foot traffic or public access
- Centralized spots with clear signage and easy visibility
The key is accessibility. AEDs should be clearly marked, wall-mounted, and reachable within 1 to 2 minutes from any point in the building. Training staff to know where the device is—and how to use it—is just as important as having it.
