What Training Covers
Classes follow the American Heart Association curriculum and focus on the skills employees need to respond confidently:
- Adult CPR, with optional child and infant CPR
- Hands-only CPR
- Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use
- Recognizing cardiac arrest and calling for help
- First aid for bleeding, burns, fractures, and other injuries
- Choking response for adults and children
- Scene safety and emergency response
Who Should Be Trained
OSHA requires adequately trained first-aid responders when a clinic or hospital is not in near proximity to the workplace, and many employers train responders on every shift regardless. Good candidates include:
- Safety managers, team leads, and supervisors
- Plant managers and HR staff
- Maintenance and facilities teams
- Healthcare providers who need BLS
- Sports teams, clubs, churches, and recreation departments
- Any employee who wants to be prepared to help in an emergency
Planning Your Training
Scheduling
Classes hold 4 to 12 employees, and Jeff can teach several in one day — early mornings, afternoons, or split days for multiple shifts. For larger groups, ask about adding a second AHA instructor so up to 24 employees train at once. Many facilities schedule CPR training on the same visit as audiometric testing to reduce the number of service days each year.
What Your Facility Provides
A room with enough floor space for hands-on practice, and a roster of participants. Jeff brings the training equipment.
Pricing
Pricing depends on the course, the number of participants and classes, and whether you add blood-borne pathogens training. Jeff also offers a flat-rate, hands-on one-year refresher course between certifications.
Your Instructor
Jeff has been an American Heart Association CPR instructor for 22+ years and is a Certified Athletic Trainer with 23+ years of sideline and event medical coverage. Classes are practical and hands-on, not a generic lecture. He also develops Emergency Action Plans that include participant-led role-play drills, so trained responders know exactly what to do in your building.

Is American Heart Association training accepted for OSHA compliance?
OSHA does not approve or endorse specific training organizations. AHA courses are nationally recognized and widely used by employers to meet OSHA's requirement for adequately trained first-aid responders when a clinic or hospital is not in near proximity to the workplace (29 CFR 1910.151). See safety consulting for help with broader OSHA requirements.
When do employees receive their certification cards?
Digital certification cards are emailed to each participant within 2 business days of the class. Jeff also sends the full list of cards to your company contact so you can keep records in your safety file.
What is blood-borne pathogens training and who needs it?
OSHA's bloodborne pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030) requires training at assignment and every year after for employees whose duties may expose them to blood or other potentially infectious materials, such as designated first aid responders. Jeff offers blood-borne pathogens training as an add-on to CPR and First Aid classes or as a standalone course.
Can you train employees on different shifts?
Yes. Jeff schedules classes around your shift structure — early mornings, afternoons, or split days for facilities running multiple shifts — so every shift has trained responders.
Do you offer BLS for healthcare and dental teams?
Yes. Jeff teaches the American Heart Association BLS course on-site for medical, dental, and other healthcare teams. See on-site BLS training for details.
