Benefits of Obtaining First Aid and CPR Certification

Tony DiTucci serves as president and chief operating officer of Livingston Associates, a management consulting firm in Scottsville, New York. Tony DiTucci volunteers with several fraternal and professional organizations, including the Knights of Columbus and the Boy Scouts of America, and maintains his Red Cross First Aid and CPR Certification.

Best-known for assisting victims and first responders at disaster sites, the American Red Cross also works year-round helping people to prepare for and deal with more commonplace emergencies. For example, more than 100,000 heart attacks happen in the workplace every year, yet less than half of American workers are trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation, according to the American Heart Association. Likewise, more than 160,000 Americans die from accidents every year, about 75 percent of which occur in the home. The Red Cross provides OSHA-compliant, affordable training in first aid and CPR to individuals and groups, according to their specific needs.

In addition to adding to one’s self-confidence and skillset, Red Cross First Aid and CPR certification is a significant enhancement to any resume. Many occupations, such as first responders, childcare providers, school staff, and workers in construction trades need such lifesaving skills. Most components of the service industry, with its high degree of public contact, would benefit from the presence of personnel trained in first aid and CPR. More information about certification in first aid and CPR is available at RedCross.org.
