  • CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is a lifesaving skill used when someone is unresponsive and not breathing normally. CPR training teaches participants how to recognize cardiac arrest, provide high-quality chest compressions, and respond confidently while emergency medical services are on the way.

    CPR is for everyone. You don't need to work in healthcare or have a professional certification requirement to learn how to help save a life.

  • An AED (Automated External Defibrillator) is a portable device designed to help someone experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Training teaches participants how to safely and confidently use an AED alongside CPR.

    AED training is incorporated into our applicable American Heart Association CPR courses and gives participants hands-on experience responding to a cardiac emergency.

  • First Aid training prepares participants to recognize and respond to common medical emergencies and injuries until professional medical care becomes available.

    For individuals and workplaces that need both CPR and First Aid training, Heartsaver® First Aid CPR AED provides comprehensive instruction within one course.

  • Heartsaver CPR AED is designed for individuals with little or no medical training who need CPR and AED education for a workplace requirement or who simply want to be prepared to respond during an emergency.

Need CPR Training for Your Construction Team?

Recommended Course: Heartsaver® First Aid CPR AED

For construction companies and jobsite teams, Heartsaver® First Aid CPR AED provides comprehensive training in First Aid, CPR, AED use, and choking response. It’s designed for individuals with little or no medical training who may need CPR and First Aid training for workplace or regulatory requirements.

OSHA requires employers to make provisions for prompt medical attention on construction jobsites. When appropriate medical care is not reasonably accessible, OSHA requires an appropriately trained and certified individual to be available to provide first aid.

Because requirements can vary by jobsite, type of work, employer, and access to emergency medical services, Silver Sage CPR can help you identify the training option that best fits your team’s needs. Employers should always verify the specific OSHA or regulatory requirements applicable to their workplace.

Ideal for: General contractors • Construction crews • Foremen & supervisors • Skilled trades • Designated first-aid responders • Facilities & maintenance teams
