However, it's not just a responsibility limited to a single individual; extending CPR training to more team members is essential. Whether you're a parent, caregiver, student, or community member, expanding CPR training within your workplace equips more individuals with life-saving skills. By having multiple trained personnel, your team can confidently handle medical emergencies, potentially saving lives even before professional medical help arrives. Investing in broader CPR training for your team enhances workplace safety and reinforces a culture of preparedness and care.
