First
Aid & Fire Safety Training for Child Care Providers
Injuries
and illness are common occurrences in the school-aged population, and
expanding enrollments of students with disabilities increase the possibility
of medical emergencies within schools. Schools have responsibility for the
safety and well-being of all students and personnel during the hours of
attendance at school or school-sponsored activities and while students and
personnel are on school property. The Berks County Intermediate Unit offers
training in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), use of automated external
defibrillators (AEDs), fire safety, and first aid for all school personnel.
Training may be scheduled on-site at your nonprofit child care center with a
minimum of 20 participants.
