Heartsaver® First Aid CPR AED Training

When an emergency happens at work, quick action can save a life.

According to the American Heart Association, immediate CPR can double or triple a person’s chance of survival after cardiac arrest. Having certified employees on your team isn’t just about compliance, it’s about protecting lives.

First Aid, CPR, and AED training is one of the most valuable skills your team can have. At The Lawson Group, we offer the American Heart Association Heartsaver® First Aid CPR AED — a nationally recognized program taught with a practical, hands-on approach. Our adult and pediatric first aid, CPR, and AED training is designed for real workplaces to give you the confidence to step in and respond when it matters most.
