Kris, can I borrow a set of safety gear for the February class?

kris_olof said
Ok, I am posting here to keep track.  I have 3 sets of sawhelmet and chaps.  Again, all are spoken for for the Jan Class

 

Feb Class: Jeff R (2 remaining available)

 

March Class: Darrel, Mike G (1 remaining available)   

Hey Kris, some of us responded about wanting to go to these classes a while ago, but never heard a confirmation of our attendance. Can you list whose in for what class?

Thanks,

Thanks for all this Kris.  Guy did not get with Kyle. Wasn't sure if it would cause confusion. Do confirm him for Jan!  U rock! 

I took the Adult First Aid/CPR/AED Online course from the American Red Cross today. The cost is $25. After you complete the course you can print out your certificate of completion. You can start and stop the course at any time and work on it at you own pace or as time allows. It will probably take between 2 to 5 hours to complete depending on your beginning level of knowledge and experience. It's a little like playing a video game and you have to do things in the proper order or you may fail and have to do the section over again. The online course uses animated tutorials and scenarios and you have to complete each section in all three levels of the first aid and CPR sections. A hands-on class would be more beneficial for someone who has never had formal training but it sounds like the online class is all that is required for chainsaw certificate. A hands on class would be more time consuming.

Hey Jeff R can you send me a link to that online class I would like to get them done before my March class  

Mike, try the link below. Put in your zip code and select class category First Aid, CPR and AED then click Search for Classes. I selected the Online class but there are also Online plus Classroom classes for $90 that meet OSHA/workplace requirements. I'm hoping that the Online only one will be adequate for the chainsaw certificate. I did plenty of CPR and medial aid in my days as a firefighter so I'm hoping I (we) don't have to take the Classroom version!

This is who I have my certification through.  They are located in Folsom.  When I did mine, they have you take an online course and then come in for a few hours for hands on testing.  Pretty easy and straight forward.

At the last club meeting I believe someone said they are a certified CPR instructor. I have access to some CPR manikins if the club would like to use them. I will know how many I can borrow tomorrow.

Hey Jeff my brother is a CPR/First Aid instructor.  I'll let him know tomorrow when I see him and give him your contact info 

Kris, I decided to buy my own safety gear so you can lend the set that I was going to borrow to someone else in the February class. There is a lot more snow down low than there was last month but I'm hoping they don't cancel the class. Maybe they can find a lower location or perhaps the club can just wheel the instructor in!
