Be A Hero! Learn CPR. – CPR Blog
Often, jobs will require employees to be certified in CPR. There may be times in which it’s necessary to use your CPR skills on the job, but there may be times when those same skills are needed elsewhere.
For instance, Stephen Bofferding has used his job-required CPR training to save his daughter and a complete stranger.
His daughter suffered a seizure and Stephen was prepared to keep his daughter alive with CPR. And just the other day, Stephen witnessed a nearby driver suffer cardiac arrest. He immediately climbed into the cab of the victim’s truck to find the man lifeless.
Between Stephen and an off-duty nurse who also stopped, they managed to perform CPR until emergency crews arrived. The man is in fair condition and grateful to still be alive.
