This review is from: First Aid in the Workplace (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

This book is very informative about what to do if the situation arises where you have to perform CPR in the workplace. I recommend this book to anyone who doesn't know how to perform CPR. If you do know how to perform CPR, I still recommend this book as a reminder and as a good book to read.
