Summer Safety – First Aid, CPR and AED Training

This month Valdes employees at Whiting, Indiana are attending training for First Aid, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Automated External Defibrillators (AED). With all the new changes to this training over the last two years there was a lot to learn!

We had a lot of fun learning CPR, practicing bandaging and splinting techniques, pretending like we were delivering real shocks with the AED and learning to care for a variety of sudden illnesses.

The class is being offered in Whiting again Thursday, June 26, so contact Amy Gibson if you would like to take the course. It will then be offered to other field employees, then Lombard staff. It is a voluntary course and helpful especially in the summer time when we are more active. Even though the course focuses on treating adults, we learn some important differences when treating children, too.
