Local Health and Safety Training This Month

 
An emergency can strike anyone – a father who suffers a heart attack, a child who chokes and stops breathing, a colleague who collapses at work. As a leader in health and safety training, the Red Cross empowers people to save lives. Last year, nearly 150,000 people in the Bay Area learned how to respond to emergencies and keep themselves and their families safe through Red Cross courses.

The American Red Cross, serving Sonoma, Lake and Mendocino Counties is offering health and safety training in Kelseyville on January 8th and 16th from 9 a.m. to 6:45 p.m. at the Lakeport Fire Station, 4020 Main St.
Any combination of cardiopulmonary (adult and child), automated external defibrillator (AED) and first aid is available on those dates.

The class components include:
    1.    Adult CPR with AED (Certificate: Adult CPR/AED, valid two years);
    2.    Child and infant CPR with AED (Certificate: Child and Infant CPR, valid two years);
    3.    First Aid (Certificate: First Aid, valid two years).
The cost ranges from $45 to $70 per person depending on the components chosen.

Based on those components, students will learn how to respond to adult, child and infant emergencies by providing CPR, plus how to deal with cuts, bruises, bone and muscle injuries, shock, bleeding, other first aid emergencies and how to use an automated external defibrillator.
