The Importance of Learning CPR and First Aid
Learning CPR and First Aid equips individuals with critical life-saving skills to act during emergencies, bridging the gap until professional medical help arrives. This knowledge is essential for protecting loved ones, responding to workplace incidents, and rendering aid during crises such as severe weather events or accidents.
Key Facts

- Nearly 10,000 cardiac arrests occur in workplaces each year, emphasizing the need for CPR and AED training in professional settings.
- Hemorrhage is the leading cause of death in traumatic events, with a person able to bleed out in as little as 3–5 minutes without intervention.

- Techniques such as applying direct pressure, wound packing, and tourniquet use can reduce preventable deaths by up to 40% following traumatic injuries.
Impact of Training
By empowering individuals with CPR and First Aid skills, we can all play an active role in improving emergency outcomes and reducing fatalities in our communities.
