Basic Life Support (BLS) Certification Class Orange County

OC Safety offers comprehensive safety training and certification classes throughout the greater Orange County area. It’s our mission to train individuals, businesses, and organizations, so you can be prepared to help save lives and know how to handle an emergency. We offer numerous comprehensive training classes, and want to let our customers know more about our basic life support (BLS) certification!

What is BLS Training and Who Should Get It?

Basic Life Support (BLS) certification is a basic life-saving training course and will teach you basic life-saving skills—how to revive, resuscitate, or sustain a person who is experiencing any type of respiratory failure or cardiac issue, so you can preserve their life until medical assistance arrives.

Regardless of your current job or profession, CPR and first aid training can further anyone’s skillset, especially in emergency situations. In fact, about 400,000 people die annually from cardiac arrest and performing CPR can reduce these unnecessary deaths. No matter the situation, if you are CPR and first aid certified, you will be able to help save someone’s life, dress a wound, or help a child in need. At OC Safety, we would rather everyone be safe than sorry, so we offer CPR and first aid courses and certifications.

Prevent Worsen Symptoms

Depending on the situation, if an individual does not receive immediate care, their symptoms may increase and their condition may worsen. Proper first aid care could mean the difference between extensive hospital care or not. And, these situations may pop up more frequently than you would expect. For example, if you have children, care for family members, or work in an office, anything could happen to those around you and immediate care could be necessary.

At OC Safety, we’re proud to offer classes in Aesthetic Training. Our courses continually grow and improve with each innovative medical discovery.

Set yourself apart from competitors by learning the proper execution and practice of the following types of beauty and cosmetic treatments:

Dermaplaning is still relatively new to the world of skin treatments, but it's quickly becoming a go-to treatment for cosmetic skincare. Essentially shaving on steroids, dermaplaning is an exfoliating treatment that can remove dead skin cells and leave the skin glowing – so is it right for you? At OC Safety, we're proud to offer a number of safety training courses including the ins and outs of dermaplaning, so we wanted to shed some light on this popular new skin treatment.

Why Dermaplaning Is Rising In Popularity

So what exactly is dermaplaning? In essence, it's a shaving treatment – the difference is that instead of a conventional razor blade, dermaplaning involves a surgical-grade scalpel. This means the blade not only eliminates any hair or peach fuzz, but also scrapes off the top layer of dirt, oil, and dead skin cells from the treated skin, leaving the skin smooth and shiny and exposing the fresh, healthy skin underneath.

In recent years, microneedling and beauty administrations have seen an increase in demand. There is a huge demand to address wrinkle reduction, acne scarred, hyperpigmentation and changing dull skin to flawless skin; the easy procedure of microneedling does this effectively. This procedure is rising in popularity, not only because of the ease in which they are applied, but because of the amazing and rejuvenating effects they produce almost instantly. If you or your business is considering our Microneedling & Dermaplaning certifications, we ask that you take a look at how this can affect you in a positive way and how it can possibly generate more clients or more revenue for yourself and your business!

Opens Job Opportunities

If you are someone who is currently in the job market looking for a new position in the beauty or medical industry, this certification will likely set you apart from others who are vying for the same position. Adding this certification to your resume can potentially qualify you for other higher-income jobs. It can also assist you in your current position by opening you up to offer other services, acquiring other clients, or give you a better opportunity for an income raise when it comes to re-evaluating your position at your company!

At OC Safety, we're proud to make the world a safer place by offering effective, easy-to-understand safety training and certification classes to organizations and individuals throughout the Orange County, CA area. We offer a wide range of safety training ranging from foundational skills like CPR & First Aid to specialized certification courses like our HIPAA Compliance Training Certification. But one of our most important safety training courses is also one that gets often overlooked: Pediatric First Aid.

What to Expect From Our Pediatric First Aid Training

Most people understand the importance of getting trained in CPR & First Aid. But while this class is a great place to get started with safety training, the skills needed to provide CPR & first aid to children are different from those for adults – and that's why our Pediatric First Aid class is so important for anyone who regularly supervises children.

The Healing Power of Microneedling

For those looking for a minimally invasive way to reduce visible scarring, improve hair growth, or increase the amount of collagen in the skin, microneedling is the solution. Microneedling has long been one of the most effective treatment modalities available to induce collagen production and stimulate overall dermal rejuvenation. When combined with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) and medical grade chemical peels, you will experience drastic and long-lasting results.

Microneedling and peel combination therapies deliver excellent improvement in texture, tone, tightness and pigmentation. With these two practices in combination, you are sure to see incredible improvements in your skin and overall confidence!

At OC Safety, we want to give you the skills to be safe and keep others safe throughout the year. This is especially applicable during the holidays when you are gathered with larger groups of friends and family, have inclement weather, and adhere to different work or personal schedules due to holiday activities. Our safety specialists want to ensure that you are equipped with the necessary tools and skills to make any situation safe, whether that is refreshing yourself with one of our CPR or first aid training classes or taking a safe and relaxing holiday with family. Please contact our safety team for information about our upcoming classes or to ask any questions about keeping safe during the holidays.

Dress Appropriately

This holiday season, you may be staying at home or going to a new destination for a vacation. OC Safety always wants you and your family to dress appropriately for your surroundings. For example, if you are going to a ski-snow destination, please dress in layers to protect yourself from the cold, ensuring that all of your skin is covered and you are not leaving any skin exposed to frostbite. Similarly, if you are headed to a beach destination, remember to wear protective clothing for the sun and sunscreen. During the winter months, your skin is more sensitive to the sun and can burn easier, keep this in mind while at the beach.

At OC Safety, our mission is to make the world a better place by providing life-saving safety training to citizens, employees, and organizations. We're proud to offer a comprehensive selection of safety training courses ranging from beginner skills like First Aid & CPR to advanced safety classes like Blood Borne Pathogens Certification and Basic Life Support courses, and our trainers are experienced safety professionals who use these skills on a regular basis, ensuring quality safety training no matter what the situation. While we regularly welcome everyday individuals into our safety classes, we also offer on-site training for organizations that need it – including the crucial skills of First Aid & CPR for companies of any size.

On-Site CPR & First Aid Classes for Businesses

In the workplace, accidents are never too far away, and no matter what your business or the size of your company, having employees trained on crucial safety procedures can be the difference between a happy ending and disaster. Effective safety training is especially critical for companies where employees are responsible for overseeing other people or in more dangerous working environments, but CPR & First Aid skills can come in handy no matter what your employees do.

At OC Safety, we are always getting questions about the difference between Basic Life Support (BLS) and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). We offer both BLS certification and CPR certification classes, and that’s why we want to clear up the confusion. Our OC Safety team wants to ensure that you fully understand the details of each training certification and who should take either course.
