The Future Proof Training Academy, sister company to Excel Recruitment, recently introduced a new Cardiac First Responder (CFR) course, led by a fully qualified trainer. This essential training equips participants with life-saving skills such as Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and the use of Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs), bridging the critical gap between the onset of a medical emergency and the arrival of professional medical help.

Why is CFR Training Important in the Hospitality Industry?

In the fast-paced hospitality industry, ensuring guest safety is crucial. The nature of hospitality means staff constantly interact with guests, often in high-stress and time-sensitive situations. Cardiac emergencies can occur without warning, and the ability of staff to respond swiftly and effectively can make the difference between life and death. CFR training empowers hospitality staff with the knowledge and skills to handle such emergencies confidently. This not only enhances the safety of guests but also builds a reputation for the establishment as a secure and responsible venue. Immediate and competent response to cardiac emergencies can also mitigate legal liabilities and comply with local safety regulations, further emphasising the importance of such training.
