Southern Plains TTAP will come to you! Now scheduling First Aid/CPR or Defensive Driving for Fall
The National Safety Council's Defensive Driving Course strives to ensure that people get what they need to drive defensively--knowledge, skills and perspective that will help them continue to prevent injuries and save lives. This 6-hour course helps develop collision avoidance behavior and safe driving practices, which can significantly reduce the number of crashes and citations your drivers might experience.
Proper First Aid Training that meets OSHA compliance requirements is an absolute must in order to protect the lives and health of your employees. It's also vital to the health of your organization. Consider the facts:
- 13% of workplace deaths are from sudden cardiac arrest
- 25% of all emergency room visits could be avoided if people knew basic first aid and CPR
- Every dollar invested in first aid training wellness programs can reduce health care costs by $3.84, and lower absenteeism costs by $5.82
