Follow on Google News | CPR/AED and First Aid Training in a Down Economy is More Important than Ever BeforeWorkplace safety should not take a backseat in today’s tough economy. Annuvia offers CPR/AED and First Aid training and Automated External Defibrillator (AED Defibrillator) units at affordable prices.
By: Annuvia, Inc When a co-worker collapses, an ambulance pulls up to an organization, and when paramedics begin taking life-saving measures next to computers, telephones, and cubical walls which heretofore were simply part of a normal day at the office, employees of an organization, whether they recognize the victim or not, immediately cease work and fall into shock. Such a state is long-lasting and powerful. While a range of emotions is common, the outcome of the incident is directly correlated to the time and severity of the recovery process. Most organizations understand that while it is important to address an incident by being sensitive to their employees and allowing them adequate time during the grieving process, it is also important to transition the firm to normal business operations as quickly as possible – especially when precious resources are scarce and employees are nervous about their employment, as during poor economic conditions. “While we all wish to be the anomaly of Sudden Cardiac Arrest’s reach and avoid it entirely, it is virtually impossible to do so given its effect on victims of all ages, rages, and sexes. SCA strikes everyone and everywhere. We can draw generalizations such as the average age of a victim (60 years old) or the location in which an incident occurred, but the truth of the matter is that 7,000-10,000 school children die each year due to SCA – completely refuting the mean!” states Micah Bongberg, President of Annuvia, a national CPR/AED and First Aid training organization. Defibrillation within 3-5 minutes can result in greater than a 70% chance of survival, however, across the country today’s average save rates are less than 5%. Studies indicate the important role the public plays in mitigating the severity of cardiac arrest by providing early and proper CPR and early defibrillation. “Increasingly, employees of organizations across the country are looking at the statistics and beginning to ask their employers ‘why aren’t we installing AED units and increasing the chance of survival at our office from 5% to over 70%?’” states Bongberg. “The business case for deployment becomes much more compelling when decision-makers analyze costs associated with decreased productivity, absent employees, presenteeism (when employees are in the office but unfocussed), and similar costs which commonly aren’t analyzed.” Many Automated External Defibrillator (AED Defibrillator) About Annuvia: Annuvia (http://www.annuvia.com) is a leading provider of health, safety, emergency preparedness and emergency response services in the nation.
