The Importance of First Aid and CPR Training

Since it is not surprising that teachers spend most of their time with children, teachers knowledge of what actions to take in times of minor or major injuries is crucial to students safety.

First Aid and CPR training is a mandatory requirement for teachers.  However, not all teachers have First Aid or CPR training – despite the fact that teachers spend a significant amount of time with children.

Although most, if not all schools have a nurse or other First Aid/CPR qualified personnel on site, but injuries can happen at anytime and anyplace, and may require the teacher to act alone as first Responder

We believes that anyone who is is around children can benefit from taking a CPR class. This can be the first step to keeping the children you care for safe. The ability to perform CPR and being familiar with First Aid procedures are important skills for teachers to have.

Whether they are on a field trip, in the lunchroom, at the playground or in the classroom, teachers could potentially be faced with instances where CPR and First Aid is required to save a child’s life.
