All of Limbwalker’s production tree-crew members recently underwent training in First Aid, CPR, and the use of Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs). The American Red Cross course was led by instructor Richard Allen at the Limbwalker shop. The twelve crew members who participated in the training were instructed in how to recognize, assess, and respond to common medical emergencies. Their new skills include treating victims for shock, helping a choking victim, responding to cardiac emergencies, and rendering First Aid in a variety of emergency situations.
Emergency preparedness and ongoing training is a cornerstone of our safety program. This emergency medical training further ensures that our team members stay current with all of the knowledge and tools they may need to perform their work safely. Instructor Allen also assessed the contents of the custom First Aid kits, which are standard on all of Limbwalker’s vehicles, to make sure that our crews have access to any resources they would need to respond to most emergency scenarios.
