CPR

According to the American Heart Association, 70% of American’s may feel helpless to act during a cardiac emergency because they either do not know how to administer CPR or their training has significantly lapsed.  Failure to act in a sudden cardiac emergency can lead to an unnecessary death and if effective CPR is given in a sudden cardiac arrest situation, it can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival.  (CPR Statistics. (June 2011).

On December 20, 2013, employees at the Eaton Steel Bar Company’s Oak Park and Taylor sites took CPR & AED training.  Hercules Drawn Steel employee training is scheduled for February 15, 2014.   The training was done by A-1 Health & Safety Education based out of Sterling Heights, MI (www.a1cpr.com).
