Could Your Team Save a Life? Start the New Year with Workplace Safety Training

Writer's picture: GAIL GOULDGAIL GOULD


As we step into a brand-new year, many businesses are focused on growth, efficiency, and creating a positive workplace culture. But one aspect that often gets overlooked is safety training.


Empowering employees with life-saving skills isn’t just a box to check; it’s a true investment in your team, your business, and your peace of mind.


How Safety Training Can Benefit Your Business in the New Year

Just a few years ago, I was teaching a CPR and AED class at a corporate office in Houston when one of the participants shared how two employees saved their boss’s life during a virtual meeting.


They were all on the call, and suddenly, their boss fell off the screen. Realizing something was wrong, they rushed to his office, found him in cardiac arrest, and immediately jumped into action. One performed CPR, while the other called 911 and grabbed the AED. They shocked him back to life right there in the office.


Stories like this remind me why I do what I do and why safety training is something every workplace, big or small, should prioritize. Emergencies happen when you least expect them, and when people are trained and confident, they can make all the difference.


Why Safety Training Matters for Your Business

  1. Prepared Employees Are Empowered Employees: When your team knows how to handle emergencies, it gives them a sense of confidence that carries over into their daily work. They’re not just prepared for life-threatening situations; they’re ready to tackle challenges head-on.

  2. It Protects More Than Lives: Emergencies don’t just impact people; they can disrupt your entire business. Being prepared reduces downtime, protects your reputation, and ensures a safer environment for employees and customers alike.

  3. It Brings People Together: Safety training has a way of fostering teamwork. When employees learn life-saving skills together, they understand that safety is a shared responsibility. It strengthens bonds and builds trust, both in and out of emergencies.

  4. It Shows You Care: Investing in safety training tells your team that you value their well-being. It’s not just about compliance; it’s about creating a workplace where everyone feels supported and protected.

 

Start the Year Off Right!

As you plan for 2025, consider adding safety training to your list of goals. Whether it’s CPR, AED use, first aid, or pediatric training, these skills can have a lasting impact, not just for your team, but for everyone they interact with in our community.
