The First Aid Basics Training Program

Interactive Media Communications' First Aid Basics Training Program addresses current information in the American Red Cross, National Safety Council and OSHA guidelines. Focusing on emergency response to accidents at work and in the home, the program helps meet several OSHA standards including 29 CFR 1910.151, 29 CFR 1926.50, and 29 CFR 1910.120. Leading experts from Harvard, Dartmouth, and Boston University Medical Schools, and specialists from the American College of Emergency Physicians and the Massachusetts State Emergency Response Commission participated in the program's development.

IMC's VHS videotape/workbook-based solution provides the essential elements of a comprehensive first aid training program. Users expand their knowledge and skills in first aid response by observing simulated real-life emergencies.
