One of many ways VSRA Members benefit from the training provided by the Association
Throughout the year, VSRA schedules at least 6 Emergency First Responder Certification courses that are available for our member companies to participate in. However, we received an interesting amount of registrations for our May EFR course; particularly from LPI Technical Services. While our Training Coordinator was assisting during the registration process, she was informed that an individual from the company had a heart attack in the office. An employee that had taken the EFR class was able to apply his knowledge and expertise, gained at the EFR course, to this unfortunate event. By taking proper and cautious action he was able to assist his colleague while waiting for the paramedics to arrive. This resulted in many more employees signing up for the EFR course. So in the future, if such an event unfolds, they are all prepared. Thankfully, the individual that had the heart attack has regained good health and is doing well. We hope that every one of our members can benefit from the training provided as this particular member company did. We are here to serve our industry and the needs of our members. We would also like to thank our instructor, Chris Murray, who always receives high evaluation ratings from the students who take his class.
