First Aid, CPR and AED Training
In continuation of our efforts to provide ongoing safety training, we are pleased to again offer sessions on First
Aid, CPR and Automatic External Defibrillators to Wood County employees. Trained Wood County employee
instructors will facilitate the training offered through the American Heart Association. It will be necessary to limit
the number of participants to only one person each year from each office/department or any of those individuals
that require the certification as part of their employment with Wood County. Completion of the course will
certify the participant for a two-year period upon which re-certification courses will be offered. Four identical,
six-hour sessions will be offered to meet the needs of your staff.
