Safety Matters
Take Heart! CPR/AED Training Available
A CPR/AED (Automatic External Defibrillator) training session is scheduled for April 20 in the Alondra Room for first-time attendees, as well as anyone who needs recertification. AED devices are strategically placed throughout campus and are ready to help save lives. Please note: employees who are assigned the responsibility of performing daily checks on an AED unit should register and attend this very important class. According to both the American Heart Association and the American Red Cross, only those certified should check and use AED equipment. Sudden cardiac arrest claims the lives of nearly 450,000 Americans each year. Immediate defibrillation and medical attention is key in these patients' survival rate. Thank you to everyone who attends these valuable life-saving CPR/AED training courses.
The registration deadline is April 10. To register, view: elcamino.flexreporter.com/app/login.php.
