OC Safety offers expert emergency response training to Orange County businesses and community members who have no prior healthcare experience. We teach advanced CPR and first aid skills that can help save lives during times of medical crisis. Anyone who completes our program will be certified to assist with medical emergencies whenever and wherever they happen. Our Costa Mesa-based team will visit your facility in the morning, afternoon, or evening at a time that works for your team. Below, we’ll discuss the basics of the CPR and first aid that we cover in our classes.
CPR
CPR, or cardiopulmonary resuscitation, is a life-saving procedure that involves giving rescue breaths and chest compressions to supply oxygen to vital organs. This treatment keeps a person’s blood flowing when they aren’t breathing and have no pulse. Done correctly, it can sustain the person’s life until medics can restore their normal breathing pattern and heartbeat and transport them to a hospital. According to the American Red Cross, CPR can double or triple their chance of survival and help prevent brain damage.
CPR training teaches the necessary skills to recognize and respond to cardiac emergencies with confidence. Learning how to perform CPR correctly is the key to providing effective aid, and it also helps to prevent additional injury to the victim. After completing OC Safety’s onsite CPR training in Orange County, participants will get a certification card and/or digital certificate that is valid for two years.

First Aid
First aid is basic, immediate medical care for sudden and/or serious injuries and illnesses. It can save the life of a person who is choking or suffering from a heart attack, an asthma attack, or a stroke. First aid can also help prevent conditions like severe bleeding, burns, poisoning, fractures, sprains, heat stroke, frostbite, and allergic reactions from becoming critical or fatal. Providing this treatment is meant to stop or slow the victim’s condition from getting worse until they receive professional medical help.
OC Safety’s first aid training course teaches participants how to recognize and assess the condition of affected victims and stabilize them. Trainees learn to bandage wounds to stop further blood loss, use an AED (automated external defibrillator), and manage other dangerous health crises. In many workplaces, first aid training may be necessary to meet OSHA compliance standards. Restaurant staff, babysitters, coaches, and caretakers can also prepare themselves for emergencies by learning these skills.
First aid certification, which is generally valid for two years, indicates that a person should be able to provide immediate, OSHA-compliant care to an ill or injured person. When a person completes their training, they receive a card or a digital certificate that confirms their status.
Who CPR and First Aid Can Serve
OC Safety’s CPR and first aid training courses teach people to safely use the essential techniques needed to sustain the life of an adult, child, or infant. Once you receive your CPR and first aid certifications, you will feel equipped to help a person who is experiencing a medical emergency.
