On average, Americans spend over 40 hours a week at work. And each year, there are millions of injuries and illnesses in American workplaces, ranging from minor cuts and colds to fatal industrial accidents and heart attacks.
Given the amount of time they spend on the job and the variety of hazards they are exposed to during a normal workday, employees need to know the techniques of emergency response and treatment, both for their own health and safety as well as that of their colleagues.
