20 Aug Empowering Our Team with Lifesaving Skills
Building a foundation of safety and care, not just concrete and steel, is vital to a construction firm’s core values. Our commitment to our team and community at Green Earth Commercial Contracting goes beyond construction excellence. Recently, our Orlando team, including Brandon, Jonathan, Chris, and Rick, underwent CPR and AED training certified by the Red Cross.
Emergencies can strike unexpectedly, and being prepared can mean the difference between life and death. Whether on a bustling job site or within our office walls, the potential for a cardiac emergency exists. Our team’s CPR and AED training equips us with the vital skills to respond effectively until professional medical help arrives.
CPR, or Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation, is a lifesaving technique that combines chest compressions and rescue breathing to circulate blood and oxygen to the brain and other vital organs. An AED, or Automated External Defibrillator, is a portable device that analyzes the heart’s rhythm and delivers an electric shock, if necessary, to restore a normal heartbeat.
Our team can take immediate action in critical moments by becoming proficient in these skills. CPR can help maintain brain function until advanced medical care arrives, increasing the chances of survival. An AED can be a lifeline, delivering a potentially lifesaving shock to a heart in cardiac arrest.
Our BMR (Building Meaningful Relationships) philosophy extends beyond our clients and partners. It’s about caring for our team and contributing positively to neighborhoods. This training is a tangible demonstration of our commitment to fostering a safe and supportive environment, and our responsibility to the wider community.
We encourage everyone to prioritize learning CPR and AED. These skills are invaluable assets that can profoundly impact someone’s life. By taking the time to learn CPR and AED, you’re protecting yourself and empowering yourself to be a lifesaver, capable and confident in critical situations. Our team had a fantastic time during the training and is excited to have acquired these essential skills. It was an excellent opportunity to come together and learn something new that can benefit our entire community.
