Community Classes 

The Health and Safety Department of the Southeast Louisiana chapter of the American Red Cross conducts a wide variety of classes and services to our community.  For our full service customers, we provide classes both onsite or at our chapter headquarters to train their staff and workforce.  For our authorized provider customers, we provide training for members of their staff to become instructors and trainers for their company.  Our community classes provide life saving skills to the citizens of our area to help our city and state continue to be a safe and healthy place to live and work.  Our programs touch a wide audience, from the very young to the very old, and serve as a major asset to improving the quality of living in our community as a whole.

We teach classes in adult, infant, and child CPR for the home, community, school, and workplace.  We also teach CPR for the professional rescuer.  Our classes include basic first aid training, AED training and instruction for safeguards to protect against bloodborne pathogens. Our classes are in compliance with OSHA guidelines.  Last year we trained almost 2,000 employees for our full service customers and over 18,000 for our authorized providers.  Our authorized provider customers enrolled 110 employees to become trained instructors for their companies so their safety training could be done internally.  In addition to these two groups, we also trained over 10,000 people in our community classes within our chapter’s 12 parish area.
