Safety First
The Berkeley Fire Department held three hands-on presentations for our team. Station 1 was a controlled propane fire where workers were able to practice the P.A.S.S. technique to extinguish the flames. At Station 2, workers were educated about how to properly administer CPR and physically practice chest compressions. At Station 3, workers were shown a first aid video and information on how to “stop the bleed” in a situation where a worker suffers a cut. Workers were encouraged to ask questions to the fire department and EMTs.
