On March 27th, 29 new employees were trained in Adult CPR and First for Tjader & Highstrom. Seventy-seven employees were given a refresher course in Adult CPR.
Ten instructors, Bambi Forcey, Charlene Jones, Corina Forcey, James Kane, Aaron Kizer, Laurel DuBois, Lynn Gaffney, Mary Radtke, Joy Zasadny and Stephannie Kelley did the training while five volunteers were on hand to help, Mindi Anderson, Kathy Rivard, Jeff Anderson, Linda Ferris and Terry Anderson.
The training was held at Suzanna's Restaurant in New Richmond. Ten stations were set up with an instructor in each station and each instructor was responsible to make sure the employees were taught the skills and understood them.
The employees were trained to overcome any reluctance to act in emergency situations and to recognize and care for life-threatening respiratory or cardiac emergencies in adults. They were provided with the knowledge and skills necessary in an emergency to help sustain life and to minimize pain and the consequences of injury or sudden illness until professional medical help arrives.
The training went well and the company was very pleased with the everything. If your business is in need of training, please call Stephannie at 651-439-0031 or Terry at 715-485-3025.
