St. Charles Trading Strengthens Workplace Safety with CPR and First Aid Training
St. Charles Trading has successfully completed a comprehensive workplace CPR first aid training initiative. The program was designed to enhance emergency preparedness and workplace safety across all facility operations. Cintas conducted the program and equipped team members with critical life-saving skills. Participants learned First Aid, CPR, and Automated External Defibrillator (AED) usage.
Certified instructor Patrick Wegner led the emergency response training sessions. His exceptional teaching methods and personalized approach earned high praise from participants. Wegner took time to learn each trainee’s name during the sessions. He maintained an engaging, interactive learning environment throughout the program. These factors contributed significantly to the workplace safety training program’s success.
