What is Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation?
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a medical procedure involving the repeated compression of a patient’s chest. This is performed in an attempt to restore the blood circulation and breathing of a person whose heart is not beating or who has stopped breathing. It is only performed in emergencies and if there are no medical personnel nearby who can do it. CPR consists of chest compressions combined with artificial ventilation to preserve brain function.
You should only perform CPR if you have been trained and know how to do it correctly. If done incorrectly, you can do more harm than good to the unconscious person.
Why Do I Need to Know CPR?
Learning how to perform CPR is important in an emergency situation. It is an important skill that can preserve someone’s life until medical professionals arrive. Your knowledge may be able to save someone’s life.
At any workplace at any time, it is possible that a fellow employee will have an accident or medical emergency that requires CPR. Knowing this technique can be the key to saving a life. Even though it is highly unlikely that you will need to use CPR in your workplace, everyone can benefit from knowing this skill and being prepared.
Does OSHA Require Online CPR Certification?
The Occupational Safety and Health Association (OSHA) requires that at least one employee should be adequately trained to render first aid. However, OSHA does not specifically require employers to train their employees in CPR.
There are certain circumstances in which OSHA actually does require this CPR certification. In both the general and construction industries, if the workplace is not in close proximity to an infirmary of some kind or a hospital, then OSHA requires at least one person per worksite to be CPR certified. This is so that, in the event of an emergency, someone can provide sufficient aid to an injured individual until emergency services arrive.
CPR Certification Renewal
Like most certifications, CPR training is not a one-and-done ordeal; it needs to be reviewed often. However, the requirements for renewal and refresher training are a bit different yet just as important as one another. What the CPR certification renewal courses entail is basically all the life-saving skills covered in the full CPR class.
It is just like taking the class all over again and does not skip over any of the details from the first time you took the class. Any updates to procedures or standards will also be covered in refresher courses.
How Often Do I Need to Renew My CPR Certification?
When you need to renew your CPR certification is different depending on the circumstances. Generally, it is recommended that you renew your CPR training every year; however, you are not required to do so. OSHA Requirements recommend that employees receive CPR training annually and receive first aid training at least once every three years.
Can My CPR Certification Expire?
CPR certification does expire, but only two years after it was last received. This means that if you took a renewal course, your certification won’t expire until two years after you completed your renewal course.
Can I Take the CPR Test Again If I Fail it?
Most retailers for CPR courses will give you the opportunity to take the written test a second time if you fail it, but this isn’t the case for all retailers of the CPR training. Here at Hard Hat Training, in addition to the online or onsite training portion, we include a hands-on portion as a practice and evaluation training experience. This means you practice until you pass the practical evaluation rather than a pass or fail system like the written exam.
What is an AED?
An AED, or automated external defibrillator, is used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. It is an easy-to-use medical device that can analyze the heart’s rhythm and deliver an electrical shock or defibrillation to help the heart re-establish an effective rhythm.
What Does an AED Have to Do With CPR?
An AED and the CPR technique are commonly used hand in hand. To provide a victim with the best chance at surviving, defibrillation and CPR should be used in conjunction with one another. An AED can help to restore normal heart rhythm by delivering that electric shock while CPR must continue if any blood flow is to be restored to restart circulation around the body. It is important to remember that by providing CPR and by using an AED, you are doing everything you can do to help that person.
American Heart Association
The American Heart Association (AHA) is the biggest CPR education and training platform in the United States. Millions of healthcare providers trust the AHA for their lifesaving training. The CPR courses and classes provided by the AHA are designed to meet OSHA regulations. These regulations include discussing topics such as:
- First aid basics
- Common emergency situations
- How to recognize hazards
- How to call for help
- How to perform life-saving skills
National CPR Foundation
The National CPR Foundation (NCPRF) is another recognized learning platform that offers the latest techniques and information that employees need to properly administer CPR. The NCPRF strictly adheres to the OSHA guidelines and meets the AHA standards as well.
