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 training materials and instructional design keep students engaged, incorporate the latest 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.
