Most accidents are predictable and preventable

Life is full of unexpected events. Last week, for example, I was the first to find an injured man at a bus stop. He had fallen through the shelter glass and was on the ground bleeding from his head. I administered emergency 1st aid until EMS arrived.

Most accidents are predictable and preventable, however accidents happen. Would you be able to care for another person in need/a medical emergency? For example, would you know what do do if you saw someone choking or having a heart attack? 

Through first aid training we can all take care of each other, our family, friends and co-workers. Training is not that difficult. You will gain knowledge and confidence in your ability to react to real-life situations. You could save someone's life.
