ASHI- Victim of Mail-related Crime

February 1, 2014

ahsi picThe American Safety and Health Institute(ASHI) is the victim of a mail-related crime. Thousands of falsely marked letters have been sent to ASHI training centers and customers containing disturbing and offense material. The ASHI is warning people not to open the letters and refuse the delivery. If you receive the letter and do open it, they would like you to report it as a mail-related crime.

Law enforcement is involved, but saying it is a hard crime to prosecute because it is not traceable. The ASHI is not aware of any data breach, but those addresses are publicly available. They are warning their customers to be aware of the situation and take extra precautions with any materials sent to them. For more information on the situation check out the ASHI blog.

Stayin’ Alive

January 29, 2014

You HAVE to check out this video!

CPR can save lives and it’s not hard to learn!

If you witness someone experiencing cardiac arrest first call 9-1-1 then administer CPR.

The current accepted method for untrained rescuers is “Hands Only CPR”, which involves 100 compressions per minute with no breaths. If you administer chest compressions to the beat of the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” or Queen’s “Another One Bites the Dust” you will achieve that rate. You should continue to do chest compressions until help arrives or the victim wakes up. It’s normal to feel pops and snaps when you first begin chest compressions, but don’t stop. You’re not going to make the victim any worse.

Thanks to the Chattanooga Fire Department for teaching us all a valuable lesson on the importance of CPR and dancing!

AHA Updates Guidelines for CPR and ECC in 2015

October 19, 2010

CPR-Thrust-AEDThe American Heart Association (AHA) has released new guidelines and best practices for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and emergency cardiovascular care (ECC). These guidelines have been updated to improve rescue time and make the process easier.

Although the changes from the 2010 guidelines are, for the most part, minimal, they emphasize such important things as cell phone use in an emergency, clarified rates of compression during CPR, etc.

Over the next months, we will work diligently to update materials, training courses, and products to reflect these changes so that we can continue being a comprehensive, reliable resource for your safety needs.

For a quick breakdown of the AHA CPR and ECC guideline updates, or other questions, simply fill out the form below, and we will be happy to provide you with the information.
