Onsite CPR, AED & First Aid Training for Employers and Unions
Your Crew Is the First Responder. Train Them Like It.
Return 2 Sinus certifies your people where they work: plant floor, jobsite, office, or union hall. We bring the instructor, the manikins, and the AED trainers, and we build the schedule around your shifts.
Onsite training for employers and locals nationwide.
10,000
Sudden cardiac arrests happen on the job every year in the United States.
2.5 Million
Nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses reported by private employers in 2024.
5–7%
Survival rate for a cardiac arrest victim who waits on EMS instead of getting immediate help.

Why It Matters On the Job
The Emergency Doesn’t Wait for the Ambulance
In 2024, private employers logged 2.5 million injuries and illnesses, and 5,070 workers did not come home at all. Almost every one of those emergencies was handled, or not handled, by whoever happened to be standing closest in the first few minutes.
About 10,000 sudden cardiac arrests happen at work each year, and they give no warning.
Waiting on EMS drops cardiac arrest survival to 5–7 percent. Immediate defibrillation has shown survival as high as 60 percent.
Bystander CPR started right away doubles or triples a person’s odds of surviving.
OSHA recommends placing AEDs so they can be reached within three to five minutes. Most ambulances cannot beat that.
Machinery, forklifts, chemicals, heights, and heat put your people minutes from a serious bleed or burn.
The median injury costs eight days away from work. That clock starts with the first response.
The first four minutes belong to your crew. Nobody else can get there.
By the time a 911 call is answered, dispatched, and driven to your gate, the outcome is usually already decided. An employee who can start compressions, pack a wound, or pull the AED off the wall is the only intervention that exists inside that window.
Compliance
What OSHA Actually Requires
29 CFR 1910.151(b) is two sentences long, and most employers have never read it. It applies to far more workplaces than people assume.
Training and digital cards for the employees you designate as first-aid responders.
A roster with names and certification dates for your safety file.
Refresher scheduling, so nobody’s card quietly expires between audits.
“A person or persons shall be adequately trained to render first aid.”
That is 29 CFR 1910.151(b), and it is federal, so it reads the same in every state. The requirement applies whenever there is no infirmary, clinic, or hospital in near proximity to the workplace, which describes most plants, yards, warehouses, and jobsites. OSHA does not name a specific course, but it does expect trained people and supplies that are readily available.
Who We Train
Every Floor, Yard, and Hall.
If your people work around machines, vehicles, chemicals, heat, heights, or the public, you need someone on every shift who knows what to do.
Manufacturing & Warehousing
Construction & Skilled Trades
Union Locals & Apprenticeships
Offices & Corporate Campuses
Restaurants & Hospitality
Retail & Distribution Centers
Municipal & Public Works
Senior Living & Care Facilities
Organized Labor
We Work With Unions.
Locals, apprenticeship programs, and joint labor-management safety committees are a real part of our business. We train on labor’s terms: at the hall, on the site, and on the shift your members actually work.
Train at the Hall
Run the session at your local instead of sending members across town on their own time. Evenings and weekends are normal for us.
Apprenticeship Programs
Build CPR, AED, and First Aid certification into your apprenticeship curriculum so members come out of the program already carded.
Stewards & Safety Committees
Certify the people your members go to first. Stewards, safety committee members, and jobsite leads.
Shift-Friendly Scheduling
Second shift, third shift, shutdown and turnaround weeks. Tell us when your people are available and we build around it.
Training Programs
One System. Three Essential Skills.
The same certification track we teach everywhere else, delivered on your property, on your schedule.
CPR
Chest compressions and rescue breathing for adults, children, and infants. This is the skill that keeps blood moving until EMS reaches your gate.
AED
Open the case, place the pads, clear the patient, deliver the shock. If there is a defibrillator on your wall, your crew should reach it without hesitating.
First Aid
Severe bleeding, crush and machine injuries, burns, falls, chemical exposure, choking, and heat illness. These are the emergencies your industry actually produces.
How It Works
Four Steps. One Session. Back to Work.
Most employers go from first phone call to a certified crew without anyone leaving the property.
1
Tell Us About Your Operation
Headcount, shifts, hazards, and where people can gather. We will tell you how many sessions it takes to cover everybody.
2
We Build the Schedule
Dates, rosters, and a flat quote. If you run three shifts, we will cover three shifts.
3
We Come to You
Instructor, manikins, and AED trainers arrive at your plant, yard, office, or hall. You provide the room.
4
Your Crew Walks Out Certified
Hands-on practice from the first minute, then digital certification cards and a roster for your safety file.
Questions We Get
What Safety Managers and Business Agents Ask
Can you train on second and third shift?
Yes. Off-hours and weekend sessions are routine, and usually that is the only way to cover a plant without stopping production.
Does this satisfy OSHA’s first aid requirement?
1910.151(b) requires adequately trained first-aid personnel when there is no medical facility in near proximity. We train the responders you designate and hand you the documentation. Your safety officer should confirm the fit for your specific site.
How many people can you certify at once?
It depends on the room. Send us your headcount and we will tell you how many sessions it takes.
Do you work with union locals directly?
Yes. Locals, apprenticeship programs, and joint labor-management safety committees. We can run it at the hall or on the jobsite.
What do we need to provide?
A room with open floor space and chairs. We bring the equipment.
How long does the certification last?
Two years is the standard cycle for CPR and First Aid. We will reach out before your cards lapse.
