Health & Safety

Convenience. Classes can be scheduled at your facility or your Red Cross chapter at a time that works for you-daytime, evenings and weekends. You can even become an authorized provider and have one of your staff trained as a Red Cross instructor to train the rest of your staff.

Cost-effective training. Materials and instruction are provided at reasonable rates, whether you want one course or several. And because the Bermuda Red Cross is a non-profit organization, the dollars you invest in training go right back into your community to support lifesaving emergency preparedness and response programs.

Consistency. The Red Cross has customer-tested standardized courses with a solid base of practiced instructors to deliver them.

Complete emergency preparedness. From CPR, first aid and automated external defibrillator training to injury prevention courses, bloodborne pathogens training and community disaster education, Red Cross training offers complete, flexible programs that help you stay prepared for virtually any life-threatening situation.

Courses developed by experts. American Red Cross materials are developed in collaboration with leading educational and medical authorities. Red Cross first aid and CPR/AED courses incorporate the latest science for first aid, CPR and emergency cardiovascular care, meet OSHA's Guidelines for First Aid and bring you a wealth of educational innovations.
