The Willamette Chapter offers a variety of safety training courses throughout our community. Classes are offered in Salem at the American Red Cross office, Rural Metro Ambulance, Salem Health (Salem Hospital), West Valley Hospital in Dallas, Silverton Hospital, Santiam Memorial Hospital in Stayton and Wellspring Medical Center in Woodburn.
Business Services: We can bring the training to your workplace!
We are happy to offer onsite training for groups of 8 or more employees. We can customize a class for any group size. Train your employees to respond in the event of an emergency while meeting OSHA requirements. We will provide documentation of training for your records. To learn more about our workplace training program, fill out our Training Request Form.
Automatic External Defibrillators: Did you know that the State of Oregon requires that AEDs, portable electronic devices that use the application of electric shocks to allow a heart to re-establish a normal rhythm, be present in public buildings larger than 50,000 square feet with 25 or more workers on a normal day. The law also requires that an employee who is certified to use the machine be present when the site is open to the public. The American Red Cross offers these units for sale and can provide all of the appropriate training.

Responding to a disaster requires quick thinking and standardized operations. Volunteers who wish to respond both locally and nationally must be trained in advance, as there is little time for training during the disaster. Classes are structured for advancement into American Red Cross groups and activities. When a disaster happens, we call on those who are trained to perform specific functions.
No Cost to Attend!
Red Cross disaster training is presented in a variety of formats, including online, blended (online plus classroom) and live classroom courses. Most required classes are created by the American Red Cross or the Chapter, but some learning is available from other sources, such as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA Incident Command System classes).
