    Who's trained.....

    I was just wondering who has any CPR training or better (ex. Paramedic)? Did you get your training from work or elsewhere? Every employee onsite at the quarry has to have a yearly CPR class. You get CPR and AED certification from the class. I myself am a First Responder. :thumbsup
