CPR training for all EPC-UK staff

摘要

A company-wide training programme at UK blasting and explosives specialists EPC-UK has succeeded in ensuring that all of the company's 234 employees are now trained in the key life skill of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The voluntary initiative was created following circumstances in January 2019, where EPC-UK's civils manager, Mark Jones, administered CPR to two neighbours in the space of couple of weeks. The company's managing director, Ben Williams, recognized Mr Jones's heroic actions and asked him to share his testimony at the EPC-UK annual communication conference. Hearing about his experience convinced all conference delegates to agree to a 2019 company-wide target of achieving full CPR training for every employee. The company's driver training manager, Anthony Bird, a qualified CPR and automated external defibrillator (AED) instructor, volunteered to train each member of staff with the full support of the organization.
