This entry level full-day program introduces the prevention and educational aspects to many common First Aid emergencies. This First Response course deals with immediate life-threatening situations, as well as the EMS (Emergency Medical Services) system. Other topics for this program include basic anatomy\physiology, victim assessment, unconsciousness, shock and trauma, rescue breathing and choking (adult), medical conditions, bleeding and burns. Legalities, **Bloodborne Pathogen and Disease Transmission are also discussed, as they apply to the First-Responder in an emergency situation. The Heart Saver Plus CPR course is included in this Emergency First Aid Program. Standards taught reflect the New CPR Guidelines and Standards released in November 2010 and approved by the HSFC and the AHA. Participants are introduced to precautionary practices that are recommended by organizations such as the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Note:

• In order to participate in the session all participants will be asked to sign a waiver.

THTC requires participants to sign a waiver for any training that involves physical engagement and/or activity. The waiver releases THTC of liability, assumption of risk and indemnity. It is the responsibility of the participant to behave in a professional manner and relay any physical concerns to the facilitator at the onset of the workshop. If the waiver has not been signed, we are unfortunately unable to accept participants into this training.

• You must be prompt and present for the course – participation in the full two days is required. Any time missed will result in certificates not being issued.
• Participants will receive a training manual and certificate.
• Please wear comfortable clothing and running shoes.
