How to help someone having a stroke or heart attack at work
from our partners at Pinnacol Assurance
You never know when a heart attack or stroke may strike. Every year, thousands of Americans have heart attacks at work, and someone in America suffers a stroke every 40 seconds.
Understanding the signs of a heart attack or stroke can help you take fast, decisive action if a co-worker, an employee or even a customer shows the following signs of distress:
-Face drooping
-Arm weakness
-Speech
Time to call 911!
Once you know the signs, consider empowering your employees with a lifesaving skill: CPR.
We recommend offering conventional CPR certification at your workplace, and promote what the American Heart Association calls hands-only CPR.
