What company will want to pay for first aid training course so their employees will learn first aid skill??

Public Comments

1. Any company that experiences accidents, usually heavy manufacturing, construction, factory. It may also be something that their insurer would take note of and reduce insurance cost. Oft times, first aid training also includes prevention.

Another industry would be the health supply industry. Not hospitals where nurses and doctors are the norm, but companies like Zee Medical that provide first aid supplies, hospital supplies like soaps, and the like. Their employees might be more likely to be better sales people if they had first aid training.

I'd say though, in closing, that it depends on what sort of first aid training you are talking about. Emergency response or how to put a bandaid on a pinky?

2. ALMOST any company would want this !! Sadly there are liability issues if you do first-aid treatment on a CUSTOMER... but I think the benefits outweigh them.

Here in the USA, every company is REQUIRED by law (OSHA) and their insurance companies to train their employees in safety to various degrees.

When I worked for the phone company, ALL field technicians had to have Red Cross CPR certification, and all field-managers had to add a Red Cross First Aid course.

When I was in the US Navy, everyone has First Aid Training that is updated each year. As a Helicopter Rescue Swimmer, I had advanced First Aid and CPR... and the pushed ahead and got EMT certified.

No BETTER public-relations for a company than a short news article, or better, TV spot... describing how one of your employees saved a live(s) at the scene of an accident due to training provided by YOUR company.
