ASHI Emergency Medical Response (workplace)

Emergency Medical Response for Adults in the Workplace is a combined CPR, AED, and basic first aid training program designed specifically to arm laypersons with the minimum knowledge and skills necessary to provide emergency care for suddenly ill or injured adults during the usually brief interval between the incident and arrival of emergency medical care professionals.

Expanded information on bloodborne pathogens and emergency oxygen administration is included to enhance knowledge and understanding of these two important and related emergency care topics.

Intended Audience

Laypersons in business and industry who require or desire basic emergency care (bloodborne pathogens, emergency oxygen administration, first aid, and CPR/AED) knowledge and skills with a focus on adults.

ASHI Emergency Oxygen

The Emergency Oxygen administration program is a critical step in treating a severe or life-threatening illness or injury. Serious and life-threatening medical emergencies often cause oxygen to be depleted in the body leaving the victim at risk for cardiac arrest or brain damage. This program focuses on administering emergency oxygen, rescue breathing and oxygen delivery devices.

Intended Audience

Community and workplace lay rescuers
