My art teacher died during an open evening. He had a heart attack right in front of a young girl showing a group of people around. That's when we found out both janitors had lied about their First Aid training. The guy running the cantine had to do CPR until the doctor came running in 20 minutes later. 20 minutes is incredibly hard to do. I'm still wondering why nobody took over (there were hundreds of people there) and why they called a doctor, not an ambulance.
Oh are Janitors expected to have first aid training or is it just something they said to help boost their resumé?
Also, sorry for your loss, it sounds traumatic & Art Teachers are usually great people.
Where I live there's a legal requirement to have a certified first aider as employee once you go beyond a certain number of people on-site.
My first job was in a large company and they paid for me to get certified along with a few others. It was open to anyone who was interested. Really cool learning tbh. I think it was three days of intensive training then a written test and practical on dummies for CPR etc.
You have to get recertified every few years if you want to be considered legal though.
Having first aid training is good for any position. I mean, if two janitors apply, and they are about even, but one has first aid training, your hire that one right? It reduces expenses on your end to train people.
One of their jobs is performing First Aid. There isn't a school nurse, if something happens they're supposed to be able to deal with it initially.
I still remember the doctor running in, trenchcoat flapping, doctor's case flying. He still had one of those leather ones.
See I think that's the real weirdest story from your high school. Janitors being expected to perform first aid
