Be 100% Prepared for All Medical Emergencies in the Workplace

The Challenge

90% of the Workforce Is Untrained

Every minute of every day, someone in the United States dies of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).

The average number of trained responders in a workforce rarely exceeds 10 percent. In a cardiac arrest, 90 percent of possible responders are not trained or able to offer assistance.

Key Capability

Trained Responder Notification

Mission Benefit

• Trained responders receive the emergency text message.

• Responders text “Y” to acknowledge that they are coming.

Key Capability

Call 911 from the App

Mission Benefit

• The app confirms how many people received the alert.

Case Study

Federal Aviation Administration Adopts WorkSafe™ SCA Response Program

Only two percent of sudden cardiac arrest victims nationwide receive an effective response: bystander CPR and the attachment of an AED.

The FAA incorporated Emergency University’s SCA response training across 198 air traffic towers, air route traffic control centers, research facilities and administrative offices. Emergency University has trained 20,000 FAA employees, resulting in a 100 percent response rate.

“Had it not been for Emergency University-trained inspectors, my daughter would never have known what it would be like to be held by her father.”

Published in the Journal of Resuscitation

Providing basic AED/CPR training and placing AEDs in strategic locations produces an average 2% SCA response by lay responders. The addition of targeted training programs for essential personnel and specific technological tools can significantly improve cardiac arrest response rates, and therefore SCA survival.
