Construction work consistently ranks among the most hazardous occupations. According to OSHA, one in five worker deaths in the U.S. is in construction. While strict safety protocols can reduce risks, emergencies can still happen. In such moments, immediate and effective response can save lives.
Here are a few key facts to consider:
- Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anywhere — including worksites. Performing CPR within the first few minutes can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival.
- First Aid training empowers workers to handle injuries such as bleeding, fractures, burns, and shock until professional medical help arrives.
- According to the National Safety Council, 25% of all emergency room visits could be avoided with basic first aid and CPR training.
- Quick intervention during an accident reduces recovery time and can even prevent permanent disability.
By equipping your team with CPR and First Aid training, you are not only meeting safety compliance standards but also building a more confident and prepared workforce.
