COVID19 Social Distancing Guidance:
Attentive Safety understands that this is a concerning time and people want to protect themselves; standard hygiene practices not only help prevent the spread of these novel viral illnesses, but also more common viruses, such as the flu. Thank you for all that you are doing to support our lifesaving mission during this outbreak and to ensure we have appropriate safety measures in place for all.

We are urging you to follow the CDC recommendations to wash your hands, avoid touching your face, social distance and wear a mask if your health permits it. We do not tolerate any discrimination against any person wearing/ not wearing a mask due to their personal health, choice or disability. Individuals who are immunocompromised, fearful to remove a mask during skills practice or be around others not wearing a mask six feet away, should not attend first aid or CPR classes at this time.
Below are the steps Attentive Safety is taking to help prevent the spread of respiratory viruses during classroom activities.
Before the Class:
As we always recommend, if you have been ill or have any signs of illness within 24 hours prior to the class (fever, cough, breathing difficulties/shortness of breath, or other symptoms) you should not attend class and instead reschedule your training.
Please be assured that all non-disposable equipment and manikins used during the class will have been cleaned prior to student use.
