Introduction
We will be describing the process of how we will train our on construction site representatives in both OSHA and EMT-basic standards. We will train them first in OSHA. This would provide the necessary background information on how they can help keep the construction site workers safe and what injuries to expect on the work site. Immediately after their certification in OSHA, we will move them on to EMT-Basic training. With the OSHA background they will better understand their roles as EMT. They will know what environment they will most likely be in when accidents happen, and what types of injuries to expect. By describing this process we hope to clearly define what will be expected of these construction site representatives, and what they must to fit into this new program we are implementing.
We will need an OSHA class and a representative along with all the necessary material he/she will need to teach what he/she knows and to certify in OSHA law. We will need an EMT-
Basic class and representative with all the necessary material he/she will need to teach and
Nationally Register his/her students as EMT-Basics. We will need the student’s undivided attention and participation or approximately 100 hours.
In order to become Nationally Registered and an EMT-Basic he student must first be at least 18 years old. Attendances to the class will me mandatory over the course of 3 months or
60-80 hours. Missed classes must be remediated, and any more than five absences then the student will be ineligible for the National Registry tests. During these classes the students will
Jon South and Tyler Dally first learn what will be required of them as EMT-Basics. They will learn skills to help them stabilize their patients for and during transport to the hospital, so they can receive more in-depth medical care. These skills include: Oxygen Administration, Mouth to Mask, Airway Adjuncts/
Suction, Bag-Valve Mask, AED, Patient Assessment-Medical, Patient Assessment -Trauma,
Spinal Immobilization-Supine, Spinal Immobilization-Seated, Immobilization-Long Bone,
Immobilization-Joint, Immobilization-Traction, Bleeding/Shock, and CPR Certification. By having knowledge of these skills the student will learn and know what they must do to prepare and stabilize construction site victims for the hospital. There is a significant amount of reading and comprehension that must happen in order to understand and apply the knowledge. The student will be expected to work to read and understand this material.
The student will have to get a Tuberculoses test and go to at least one doctor/clinical of about 8-12 hours for firsthand experience in the medical field. In addition to gaining this experience they will need to take a state regulated practical test in which the above stated skills will be tested to determine the student’s proficiency in those skills. The student must pass this test so that they can continue on and take a written test to become Nationally Registered. The students will have to registered at the NREMT website so that they can answer questions about themselves in the EMT application process, and sign up to that the Nationally Registry test.
When the students pass this second test they will be a certified EMT-Basic. Once Nationally
Registered as an EMT-Basic the student will need to attend continual education courses to maintain the license, otherwise they will need to repeat the course.

Before becoming nationally registered at an EMT level of expertise, you must be state certified at that level. Check your local fire service for information on classes and what it takes to get certified. See the "Additional Resources" section for a link to state EMT offices. Most community colleges offer the required classes. You must have completed your certification training in the last two years. If completed more than two years ago, then you need to maintain your state license by taking the required continued education courses.

EMT II registrants have to show practical competence in the following areas: patience assessment/management, ventilatory management, intravenous therapy and random EMT basic skills . EMT III registrants are tested on the following areas for practical competence: patient assessment--trauma, patient assessment--medical, ventilatory management, cardiac management skills, medication skills, intravenous therapy and medication skills, pediatric management skills and random EMT basic skills.

Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) perform crucial and noble work that benefits others immensely. The primary role of an EMT is to stabilize an injured person during transport to the hospital for more in-depth medical care. EMTs must be trained and certified, and there are multiple levels of certification within the career : basic EMT, intermediate EMT and paramedic.
Training at the basic level focuses on first aid, patient assessment, and the use of non-invasive medical equipment. Training at the intermediate level includes more course-work and more advanced skills like the administration of intravenous fluids and medications. Paramedics spend the most time in training and learn the most advanced medical skills as well as take courses in anatomy and physiology.
