Lifesaving Rescue in 2019 Draws on Emergency/Safety Training

In early June 2019, a long-term Peckham Industries employee suffered a massive heart attack while driving a concrete mixer in the yard at one of our facilities. Quick thinking (and very well trained) fellow employees jumped into action and immediately started CPR and rescue breathing. Another employee dashed to grab the AED from the shop. Other selfless workers joined in to coordinate the EMS response and to secure the scene. After a trip to the local hospital and a subsequent helicopter ride, there was joy all around as word spread that our friend had made it!

This incredible outcome was the result of years of dedication to Peckham Industries training and preparation. The AED had been sitting behind its glass door for 13 (!) years, untouched except for the bi-weekly, well-recorded inspections. Years of CPR, first aid, and incident training paid off for this crew in ways they never expected. This story is a great testament to the safety culture we have at Peckham Industries.
