Hands For Life

24 Oct 2024

At PJ Hegarty, health and safety goes beyond our construction sites. This October, we proudly participated in the Irish Heart Foundation Hands for Life programme.

Did you know 13 people die from cardiac arrest every day? CPR can double the chances of survival, and through this vital programme, free CPR training is being offered to 100,000 people across Ireland. Whether at work or home, knowing these life-saving skills could make all the difference. Training courses will take place in local community centres, clubs, and libraries across Ireland over the next two years. The training course takes just under one hour to complete, and attendees will learn:

  • How to recognise a cardiac arrest
  • How to perform compressions
  • How to use an AED (Automated External Defibrillator)
  • How to respond to a choking emergency
  • How to recognise a stroke

For more information and to sign up for a free Hands for Life training course in your area, visit www.HandsForLife.ie.

PJ Hegarty is committed to promoting a healthy lifestyle and ensuring our people know how to respond to a health emergency.
