Why Earn Your Basic First Aid Certification Online?

Great question. Here are a few good reasons:

• Approximately 2.2 million people die from workplace-related illnesses and injuries each year. 
• Accidental injury is the leading cause of death in the US for those younger than 44.
• Every day in the United States, 15 workers die from on-the-job injuries.
• Approximately 1/3 of all serious injuries occur at home in the U.S.; and about 20% of injury-related deaths occur at home. 
• According to OSHA statistics, approximately 2.9 non-fatal workplace injuries and illnesses took place in 2016, including 892,300 cases that required employees to take time off work.

Many workplace injuries and fatalities are preventable—and they cost a great deal, both to employers and employees. According to the National Safety Council, unintentional workplace injuries cost more than $127 million per year to companies, and an average of $980 per worker. With basic first aid training, you can avoid someone from your workplace becoming another statistic.

Some of industries with the highest rates of workplace injury include:

• Construction 
• Transportation
• Agriculture
• Professional and business services
• Government
• Manufacturing
• Mining
• Wholesale and retail trade
• Hospitality
• Education and healthcare

In industries like these, the need for someone on-site with a valid first aid certification is clear. But first aid training is a good idea no matter where you work. Having someone at work or at home who is first aid certified can mean the difference between life and death.
