Emergency First Response
(EFR) is the fastest-growing international CPR, First Aid training
organization. Dedicated to training the lay rescuer, EFR courses
encompasses adult, child and infant CPR skills, provides AED and First
Aid training, and feature an outstanding First Aid at Work component.
Many divers take the
Emergency First Response courses to meet program prerequisites, such as
PADI Rescue Diver, or as preparation for becoming a PADI Dive Master.
However, most have also found the EFR program to be important in every
day life.
They have taken a
significant step in emergency preparedness, and feel confident that they
can provide care should an emergency situation arise.
The Emergency First Response
program meets requirements for CPR and First Aid in the workplace (OSHA
Guideline 29 CFR 1910.151), and incorporates the latest procedures for
emergency patient care. Other organizations that recognize EFR as
meeting their requirements are United States Coast Guard,
