EmployeeSafe: Staff Training Saves Lives

Recently two Texas teachers, Kristen Goodgion and Brent Reese, came to the aid of Kylee Shea after being informed by students that she had collapsed in her school’s hallway. According to the Huffington Post, Goodgion says she and Reese relied on their AED and CPR training, despite the fact that they had never used the paddles before in a real-life situation. The quick action and prior training of both teachers led to the survival of this seventh-grade student who is currently doing well.

With PublicSchoolWORKS’ AED Staff Training courses, staff learn the necessary procedures and when to utilize an Automatic External Defibrillator which, in cases like Shea’s, could be the difference between life and death. Do you think your staff would know what to do if a student or another employee was in need of immediate medical assistance? What kind of training do you provide staff to ensure they know what to do when the time comes to intervene? Share your thoughts with us on Twitter @PSWORKS.
