Contact Us →Arrange Private Staff Training
Organizations can arrange private LifeVac training for employees or staff, either as a standalone program or in conjunction with CPR, First Aid and AED education.
CPR and First Aid training is strongly recommended as part of a comprehensive emergency-response program.
Request Private Training →LifeVac Training With CPR & First Aid Education
A choking rescue device should be one part of a broader emergency-response plan. East Coast Safety Consulting strongly recommends that individuals and staff responsible for emergency response also maintain current CPR, First Aid and AED training.

Healthcare professionals can also explore our BLS certification programs .
LifeVac Add-On Training
At participating locations, students purchasing LifeVac with an eligible class receive additional instruction on the device following their regularly scheduled course.

LifeVac Training for Employees & Staff
East Coast Safety Consulting can arrange private LifeVac instruction for businesses, schools, restaurants, childcare programs and other organizations that equip their facilities with choking rescue devices.
