First Aid Classes and Training

Hands-On First Aid Classes and Training for Industrial Teams

At Industrial Safety & Rescue, we provide group first aid training at our customized training facility in Westwood, MA or on-site first aid training exclusively for commercial and industrial clients. Our sessions are built around one objective: equipping your team to respond with speed, skill, and confidence in the face of a workplace emergency.

Whether delivered at your facility or ours, every training is in-person, instructor-led, and customized to your job site. Our programs are purpose-built for organizations that demand OSHA compliance and real-world readiness.

What Our Classes Include

Our onsite first aid training courses are taught by certified instructors with in-depth experience in industrial safety. Each course includes:

First response techniques for injuries and sudden illness
CPR, AED use, bleeding control, and shock response

Recertification & Skill Retention

Many safety certifications, including CPR, AED, First Aid, and Fire Extinguisher Training, have expiration dates and require recertification every 1 to 2 years, depending on the course and regulatory body. Even when certifications remain valid, the skills learned are highly perishable without regular practice. We recommend annual refresher training to maintain readiness, reinforce proper techniques, and stay current with the latest safety standards. Contact us to schedule a refresher course or set up a recertification plan for your team.

We were looking to upgrade our permit required confined space training and thankfully found George and Industrial Safety and Rescue. Our experience working with them has been incredible. Their knowledge, expertise and hands-on approach to training have been a huge asset to the Commission. Due to the success, we had with confined space training, we began to work with ISR on all our safety trainings from trench safety to traffic management and are grateful for the knowledge they are providing our employees, which has created a much safer work environment. I continue to request new trainings for our staff and ISR continues to deliver high quality trainings. I would strongly recommend them to any organization public or private.
