 Why
Emergency First Response?
Emergency
First Response (EFR) is the fastest-growing international CPR, Automatic
External Defibrillator (AED) and First Aid training organization.
Dedicated to training the lay rescuer, EFR courses encompasses adult,
child and infant CPR skills, provides AED and First Aid training, and
feature an outstanding First Aid at Work component. The
company’s award-winning programs and state-of-the-art training materials
make it a favorite among divers around the world.
Many
divers take the Emergency First Response courses to meet program
prerequisites, such as PADI Rescue Diver,
or as preparation for becoming a PADI Divemaster. However, most have
also found the EFR program to be important in every day life. They have
taken a significant step in emergency preparedness, and feel confident
that they can provide care should an emergency situation arise.
The
Emergency First Response program meets requirements for CPR and First
Aid in the workplace (OSHA Guideline 29 CFR 1910.151), and incorporates
the latest procedures for emergency patient
care. Other organizations that recognize EFR as meeting their
requirements are United States Coast Guard,
The Boy Scouts of America, and the American Council on Exercise (ACE),
to name a few.
