Join Frontier Safety and Supply for a presentation on new advancements in AEDs. Including information on CPR feedback devices in AEDs, updates for ANSI First Aid Kit Standards, and Bleeding Control devices.
Frontier Safety And Supply delivered safety products and training from Sea to Shining Sea on Veterans Day Weekend. We are honored to have had the opportunity to deliver 3 new ZOLL AEDs for use on the Battleship Missouri Memorial in Pearl Harbor. Thank you to our Veterans and their families who make such great sacrifices for our nation!
The 2023 Governors Safety Convention was high energy & well attended!
Frontier Safety and Supply showcased that we offer at least twelve CPR / AED & First Aid at our Anchorage training center each month; more than any other company in Alaska. Safety professionals appreciate that every CPR & First Aid class includes substantial information on AEDs, tourniquets / wound packing, patient assessment, spinal injury management, concussions, seizures, stokes, and burns. Our 16-hour Wilderness First Aid (WFA) certification program was frequently inquired about.
Thanks for joining us at the jam-packed 37th Annual APEHA Convention (Alaska Private & Homeschool Educators Association)! Frontier Safety & Supply was able to showcase training options for homeschool youth. The Emergency Trauma Technician (ETT) and the Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) bridge class was among the favorites. Also, the Babysitter certification program was a big hit!
We look forward to next year’s convention on April 12th & 13th 2024.
Thanks for joining us at the 15th annual Mat-Su Emergency Preparedness Expo. There was a great turnout for our training presentations. Dozens of people practiced hands-only CPR on manikins that proivide live CPR feedback. We brought 4 different AEDs for visitors to learn about and apply to manikins. It was the first time most people had seen AEDs with LED screens and feedback devices built into the electrodes. Kids and adults practiced helping to relieve the pediatric and adult choking victim.
Thanks for joining us at the Kenai River Festival. We offered a training on cold water immersion and Hypothermia. Obviously, a chilling topic among Alaskans! We discussed prevention, recognition and treatment of related injuries.
