JeffSTAT offers customized on-site training for corporations. On-site training is more convenient for your employees, easier
for your management team to monitor and less intimidating for participants.
To get started, simply tell us the course desired, the dates desired and the number of participants. We’ll coordinate the
rest. We’ll deliver textbooks and other educational materials to your facility in advance of the course to help participants
prepare for the training. Participants will receive their course completion cards on the last day of the course.
We offer CPR, first aid and public access defibrillation training programs:
CPR Training
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the world. The American Heart Association estimates that approximately 220,000
people die from sudden cardiac arrest annually. Employees should be trained in CPR so they can help co-workers, customers
or bystanders in a cardiac emergency. JeffSTAT offers adult and pediatric CPR classes. All CPR training includes education
on the use of an automated external defibrillator (AED). The course is eight hours in duration. Attendees will participate
in interactive learning through lectures, demonstrations and hands-on practical training with the CPR mannequins.
First Aid Training
Many companies are training their personnel to provide basic first aid to co-workers or customers who become ill or injured
in the workplace. Even in the best of circumstances, it can take emergency medical services personnel (EMS) in the community
10 to 15 minutes to arrive at your facility. Employees can perform emergency first aid while they are waiting for the ambulance
to arrive. The first aid training program consists of eight hours of training, all in a one-day training session. It includes
training on how to manage the most common illnesses and injuries, such as heart attack, stroke, seizures, fractures and bleeding.
Participants will have the opportunity to learn how to use basic medical equipment – including bandages and splints – and
will practice rendering first aid to other course participants.
Public Access Defibrillation (PAD) Programs
The cause of cardiac arrest is most often a condition called ventricular fibrillation – a potentially lethal heart rhythm
in which the heart has erratic electrical activity and cannot pump properly. Thanks to advances in technology, there is a
new generation of equipment called automated external defibrillators (AED) that make it possible for laypeople to administer
defibrillation sooner than ambulance or hospital personnel. Today’s AEDs are easy to use and inexpensive and can be found
in public places around the world – including office buildings, airports, malls, stadiums, gyms, hotels and other places where
large numbers of people gather or work. Having laypeople trained in CPR and AED use significantly improves survival rates
for people who experiences sudden cardiac arrest at your facility.
In addition, JeffSTAT can develop and maintain a PAD program at your facility. Our goal: to make the establishment of this
program as simple for your organization as possible while ensuring that the program is compliant with the standards of the
American Heart Association. This will include a workplace assessment, development of an emergency response plan, physician
medical direction, training, quality control and equipment selection. Please contact us at (215) 955-7320 to schedule an on-site
consultation about this program.
