New Red Cross Programs Available in March 2006

The American Red Cross is currently updating its health and safety programs with the latest science in first aid, CPR and emergency cardiovascular care. New instructor and participant materials for the First Aid/CPR/AED program will begin shipping on March 31, 2006 and pre-sale orders are currently being accepted by the publisher of Red Cross training products, StayWell at www.shopstaywell.com. Make sure your instructors update to the new program as early as possible in order to provide your employees with the latest health and safety skills!

The new First Aid/CPR/AED program features a wealth of educational innovations to enhance the learning experience for course participants, such as—

  • An innovative and engaging "practice-while-you-watch" instructional method that allows learners to perform skills along with a video while a classroom instructor provides more individual guidance, more fully engaging students.
  • New participant materials to support the learning process and provide an excellent refresher and reference after training.
  • A new training DVD that is customized with specific types of emergency scenarios that are likely to occur in a workplace environment, enhancing the relevancy of training for your employees.
  • New optional one-hour Epinephrine Auto-Injector Training module and 45-minute Asthma Inhaler Training Lesson—ideal for staff who may be required to assist someone during a severe allergic reaction or asthma attack
  • The skills training required to meet OSHA Guidelines for First Aid.

The new American Red Cross First Aid/CPR/AED program will feature new lifesaving techniques based on the recently released 2005 Guidelines for First Aid and 2005 Consensus on Science for CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Current training methods for CPR are not incorrect or harmful, but improved methods, based on new scientific evidence, will make it easier to learn CPR and other lifesaving skills.
