As an employer, it’s in your best interest to help maintain the health, happiness, and safety of all of your employees. There’s no better way to ensure safety in an emergency situation than by providing health and safety training, including information on how to use an Automated External Defibrillator.

Northern KY Emergency Medical Services Inc. is a registered non-profit organization that helps provide First Aid certification and emergency training in the Cincinnati and surrounding areas.

Automated External Defibrillators (AED) are used in emergency cardiovascular care but can easily be utilized by non-medical professionals who have received proper training. Public access defibrillation can help save the lives of your employees should one of them suffer cardiac arrest.

Proper defibrillation is not a replacement for emergency medical care, but it can help keep a person in stable condition until medical professionals can arrive on the scene. In the United States alone, an estimated 350,000 people per year die from a sudden cardiac arrest because they do not have access to a defibrillator in time.

Northern KY Emergency Medical Services can come to your office and provide a one-time training session for you and your employees. They can also help you implement an emergency workplace program, so that in the event of an emergency all of your employees know exactly what to do. They can also provide followup training sessions if your office already has a defibrillator.
