Train Aid to Offer Free AED Training on Open First Aid at Work Courses

Train Aid Ltd has decided to offer Free AED training on their 3 day first aid courses, which will help raise awareness of these lifesaving machines.

2012-10-07

SURREY, ENGLAND, October 07, 2012 (Press-News.org) Train Aid Ltd is set to further reduce the burden on business by offering Free AED training as part of their regular monthly open courses. All open first aid at work courses will include an extra certificate, which teaches candidates how to use a machine that can restart the heart of a cardiac arrest victim. Not enough people are getting access to the training despite the machines being present right across the public domain. Ultimately it is hoped that moves like this will help save more lives.

The AED machine is one of the first things the emergency services will use to try and restart the heart of a cardiac arrest victim. In light of this the science behind them was simplified and transferred from the professional domain into the hands of the public. This means that any person in a public location can grab the machine and treat a heart attack victim whilst awaiting the arrival of the emergency services. This is crucial as for every minute that passes without an AED the casualty's chance of survival drops by 10%.

Currently there is no law requiring individuals to have training to use the machines, but this could soon change. Currently individuals are being charged separately to learn how to use the machines. Train aid Ltd has decided to set a precedent by offering the training free on their first aid at work courses, and hopes this will involve more candidates, and potentially save more lives. One of their leading instructors (Billy Casserley) was able to give his thoughts on the matter:

"The AED is the only known way of treating a cardiac arrest victim yet not enough people know how to use them. In fact not many people even know they exist despite being present at all major train stations, cinemas and shopping centres. The time has come to get more people trained, which will ultimately save more lives."

In the future it is likely that AED training will become part of the 3 day first aid course syllabus. However in the meantime Train Aid is prepared to lead the way and offer the training completely free of charge.

Train Aid Ltd deliver both affordable and enjoyable training courses that place a strong emphasis on teaching practical skills that are relevant to real life.
