SFT 101 - CPR and First Aid with AED Training (2 nights)
Thursday and Tuesday, February 4 & 9, 2010
5 p.m. ­ 8:30 p.m.
MCA Construction Education Institute

Contractors with workers who have received up-to-
date CPR and First Aid training stand to gain plenty
and to lose only one thing. Lose what, you ask?
Lose the likelihood that an emergency on their job
sites may not get a quick, effective fi rst-aid response
because no one knows what to do in this situation.
According to the American Heart Association (AHA),
only 6% of sudden cardiac arrest victims survive
"because the vast majority of those witnessing the
arrest are people who do not know how to perform
CPR." Prompt CPR coupled with the application
of Automated External Defi brillator (AED) when
needed can increase the survival rate above 90%!
This is the number one benefi t of equipping your
workforce with the best CPR training and equipment.
The AHA CPR certifi cation from this training lasts
two years, unlike some provided by other training
organizations. The First-Aid certifi cation card, from
the American Safety & Health Institute (ASHI), is
good for three years. This means your workers'
certifi cation cards will remain active longer, requiring
less refresher training. Requests from owners for
these cards continue to increase, giving companies
with this training an important edge. Tom Arnswald
is not only certifi ed to teach CPR; he is a professional
Chicago Fire Department EMT. He blends textbook
lessons with personal experiences in a way that makes
people really understand what's being taught.

Online Course ­ Can be taken at any time.

When you consider that each hour in the United
States 19 people are injured by falls, or that a fatal
fall accident occurs every 37 minutes, you must
agree that the fall problem is signifi cant. Falls in the
United States are the number two accident killer,
ranking only behind traffi c accidents as a cause of
accidental death. Falls on the job account for about
30% of all injuries. Last year, close to 1,600 employees
died and over 300,000 were injured from falls on
the job. This course covers fall protection tips.
