CPR/AED

PubEd1

CPR/AED is a classroom, video-based, instructor led course that teaches adult and child CPR and AED use, as well as how to relieve choking on an adult or child. American Safety and Health Institute's CPR and AED training course is designed specifically for laypeople and is an excellent choice for CPR and defibrillator training in both the airport community and workplace settings. This extremely flexible program will help prepare individuals to respond to sudden cardiac arrest and choking incidents. This CPR and AED course conforms to AHA Guidelines for CPR and ECC.

Fire Extinguisher

PubEd3

Workplace fires and explosions kill hundreds and injure thousands of workers each year and cause millions of dollars of damage to property. When used properly, fire extinguishers can save lives and property by putting out a small fire or controlling a fire until additional help arrives. The Fire & EMS Department offers as part of its customer service program, a fire extinguisher training program to airport tenants and employees. These classes are conducted free of charge by Fire Code Enforcement Division personnel. If you are interested in scheduling a class, please email Fire Marshal Office providing your contact information, someone from Code Enforcement will contact you to schedule a class.
