Group and On Site Training
All classes are taught in person. Paul can come to your location, whether that is your office, yard, or jobsite, or training can be held at another location by arrangement. Group sessions let you certify a whole crew at once with minimal downtime.
Pair this with ongoing crew training through our Safety Training and Toolbox Talks, and see ready to use hazard analyses in the AHA Library.
Why It Matters on Federal Jobs
The USACE Safety and Health Requirements Manual, EM 385-1-1, section 3-8.b(1), requires at least two employees certified in first aid and CPR on any shift with more than one employee.
OSHA also addresses first aid on construction sites. 29 CFR 1926.50(c) requires a person with a valid certificate in first aid training to be available at the worksite when an infirmary, clinic, hospital, or physician is not reasonably accessible.
Planning ahead keeps every shift covered and keeps your project moving.
