Redi-Medic® now offers free online first aid video training with all kits

Redi-Medic News, August 1, 2007:
Having a first aid kit for any minor emergency is always good but there may be times you do not know the most effective use of each product. A recent study (in Ireland) showed that while 40% of those with a first aid kit used it on a monthly basis, 60% were not familiar with the basic contents of a first aid kit or or knew how to use them.

Redi-Medic® kits now include a pass to online first aid training - each kit contains a ticket with a passcode, which enables access to video explanations of the contents of each kit. This first series features demonstrations and voice narration by Chris Becker, a Red Cross certified first aid trainer.

Some of the videos produced in this first series of online training from Redi-Medic® include :

Instructional Videos:
