National Safety Council First Aid Training Programs
NSC – In It For Life 25% of emergency room visits could be avoided if people knew basic first aid and CPR – saving $9 billion in healthcare costs each year. NSC estimates that we have saved 30,000 lives since we launched the program Through CPR and AED training we will save an additional 2,500 lives by 2015. At the National Safety Council, our goal is to save an additional 10,000 lives and prevent 1 million injuries by 2014. This is why NSC is in it for life®.
