Colorado Springs, Colo, Chapter of the Red Cross reports
that Trevor Pruitt was returning to school from a field trip when Alesia Ricks noticed he
was having a seizure and not breathing. Driver Steve Quick pulled over to the side of a
busy road and began chest compressions while Kim Richardson opened Trevor’s airway.
Trevor was transported to a local hospital and released later that evening. Trevor’s
parents credit the Red Cross training the paraprofessionals received for saving their son’s
life. “When you do take CPR and first aid, take it seriously because you never know
when you’ll need to use it. It could be 20 years like it was for me,” says
Steve.

American Red Cross first aid, CPR and AED programs are
designed to give you the confidence to respond in an emergency situation with skills that
can save a life.
Additional training in bloodborne pathogens, oxygen
administration and injury prevention can be added to CPR and first aid training to prepare
you to prevent and respond to life-threatening emergencies.
Workplace
Are Your Employees Prepared to
Save a Life?
According to OSHA, 6,000 people die from
workplace injuries every year, and nearly 12 injuries occur in a workplace every minute.
Are your employees prepared to respond to an injured co-worker or customer immediately and
with the confidence that comes from being trained in lifesaving CPR and first aid? It can
mean the difference between life and death.
From CPR, first aid and automated external
defibrillator (AED) training to injury prevention courses, bloodborne pathogens training
and disaster preparedness education, Red Cross training offers complete, flexible programs
that help your employees stay prepared for virtually any life-threatening situation. Our

science in first aid, CPR and emergency cardiovascular care and feature a wealth of
educational innovations to enhance the learning experience of your employees. When you
choose the American Red Cross as your complete emergency preparedness solution, you help
protect employees and your bottom line.
Schools
Prepare Students and Staff to Respond to
Emergencies at School
It's a sad fact - today's volatile world
climate has put students at risk. Unprecedented violence, natural and human-caused
disasters all influence the atmosphere of our schools and affect student performance and
behavior. Whether you're an elementary school teacher, a school nurse, a high school coach
or a college professor, you're doing your best to address these issues. But most schools
simply do not have the time, funding or resources to develop an entire curriculum
dedicated to creating better-prepared schools and safer lives for students.
Discover New Ways to Prepare for
Emergencies
In addition to the first
aid, CPR and AED courses chosen by thousands of schools across the nation, the Red
Cross has launched "Be
Red Cross Ready". This important initiative helps families, schools, workplaces
and communities prepare for emergency situations.
Save Time and Resources
Training can be provided through your local
Red Cross chapter or by your own teachers and can be offered when it's most convenient for
you - during the school day, after school or even on a weekend. Instructor materials are
easy to use and reduce instructor preparation time.
Community
