Training dedicated to improving safety and saving lives.

Investing in your employee’s health and safety starts with Code 3 Medical Services

Industrial and manufacturing environments are essentially small cities with a multitude
of abnormal hazards with increased potential for deadly injuries. From rescue to hazmat mitigation, potential life threatening injuries will need immediate addressing and stabilizing while medical response teams work on patient access or removal. In some cases, the immediate removal of the injured may take priority over injury stabilization or treatment due
to environment hazards. In either situation, the actions of on site personnel could mean the difference between an injured worker living or dying. In most cases of trauma related deaths,
many are preventable deaths with proper and expediate first aid. Whether you work in a
industrial manufacturing facility or a simple corporate office environment, to not have
employees trained in those simplistic skill sets may leave companies with an increased
exposure of unwanted liability.

At Code 3 Medical Services, we have custom training programs to accommodate your specific
work environment. Our cadre of instructors are seasoned professional first responders with
large entities that have accumulated years of experience dealing with trauma and medical
emergencies. Code 3 Medical Services offers single day and multiple day training programs
anywhere in the Northern United States. From standard certified training classes that exceed
OSHA requirements to custom training programs, we can meet your workplace safety and first
aid needs.

Safety goes beyond prevention

Is your emergency response team truly prepared when it counts?

When emergencies or accidents occur in the workplace, time is of the essence in many cases. Depending on the workplace environment and hazards involved, professional medical response could be delayed by minutes to even hours until the scene is safe. With that in mind, employees on the scene may be the only immediate help available to assist or help the injured. Workplace safety starts with everyone and not just with simply prevention. Having employees trained in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), Automated External Defibrillator (AED) use, Basic/Advanced First Aid, and other workplace safety programs is vital to having a positive outcome in an emergency situation. Depending on your occupational hazards or industry, OSHA may require you to have specific training related to your work environment in order to avoid noncompliance and monetary fines. Not to mention if employees are trained in basic life saving measures, the liability factor may be significantly reduced compared to not having employees trained. Especially when a fatality is preventable if basic life-saving measures were to have been implemented.

Code 3 Medical Services offers nationally accredited medical training, OSHA compliant courses, comprehensive customizable classes as well as professional medical standby services. Leaders in the forefront of medical training, services, and safety.

Here are a few facts relating to
Sudden Cardiac Arrest per the AHA:

WHY LEARN CPR?

Cardiac arrests are more common than you think, and they can happen to anyone at any time.

• Nearly 383,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests occur annually, and 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home.
• Many victims appear healthy with no known heart disease or other risk factors.
• Sudden cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack.
• Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when electrical impulses in the heart become rapid or chaotic, which causes the heart to suddenly stop beating.
• A heart attack occurs when the blood supply to part of the heart muscle is blocked. A heart attack may cause cardiac arrest.

WHO CAN YOU SAVE WITH CPR?

The life you save with CPR is most likely to be a loved one.

• Nearly 383,000 out-of-hospital sudden cardiac arrests occur annually, and 88 percent of cardiac arrests occur at home.
• Many victims appear healthy with no known heart disease or other risk factors.
• Sudden cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack.
• Sudden cardiac arrest occurs when electrical impulses in the heart become rapid or chaotic, which causes the heart to suddenly stop beating.

WHY TAKE ACTION?

• Failure to act in a cardiac emergency can lead to unnecessary deaths.
• Effective bystander CPR provided immediately after sudden cardiac arrest can double or triple a victim’s chance of survival, but only 32 percent of cardiac arrest victims get CPR from a bystander.

Client Testimonials

What They Say

Lee is a true professional with a passion for health, safety, education, and training. The attention to detail and emphasis on extending the topic beyond simple academic principles by way of real world examples and demonstrations really bring the content to a level understood by all. I would highly recommend Lee for any and all public safety training needs.

I trust Code 3 Medical Services 100%! They have provided the absolute best medical training that I have personally had the privilege to attend. There is a reason me and our emergency response team have been using them for over 8 years straight. Nothing else comes close as far as passion, dedication, and teaching style.

I had the pleasure of taking a class with Lee. His knowledge of the subject matter and his ability to convey that knowledge were exceptional. He and his team do a great job of developing students and pushing them to their limits with very "outside the box" methodologies. He is attentive to the needs of everyone regardless of their ability. I plan to train with Lee again in the future and I will recommend his classes to my own students.

Thanks to Lee and Code 3 Medical and Safety Services for providing a stellar HazMat Technician training to 3M's Emergency Response Team last fall! The hands-on application of the chemistry material made it easy for employees at all levels to understand. The instructor brought well versed, practical experience to the team and taught concepts with just the right amount of detail and hands-on to complement the training. I definitely recommend Code 3 to anyone in the industry interested in taking their training to the next level.

Code 3 Medical Services is the epitome of effective, personalized, and comprehensive medical and safety training. I was immensely captivated by how adeptly they listen, shaping each lesson to cater to learners' unique needs and queries. The team enlightened me with profound medical knowledge, outdoor survival tactics, and essential life skills, demonstrated with practicality and precision. Most notably, the approachable and relatable demeanor of the instructors made the learning process seamless, as they explain complex subjects in ways that were effortlessly understandable.

In my 30 years as an EMT and emergency response team manager of a fortune 500 corporation, I have not experienced anything that comes close to what Code 3 Medical Services provides as far as training and education. The staff at Code 3 Medical are knowledgeable, professional, experienced and provide top tier reality based training. Their hands on scenarios are the best I have experienced in my 30 years as an EMT and Emergency Responder. You will not regret having Code 3 Medical in to teach your response members and raise the level of proficiency and confidence potential of your team. Code 3 Medical Services never disappoints!

When I was asked to provide training to an operations group for medical services, I didn’t know much about it. I decided to try out this guy named Lee and went to his 40-hour emergency medical responder class. I was absolutely amazed at the training. I’d thought I’d be bored to tears with power point and still not know what to do in a real situation. However, I soon realized the class was practical, hands on, and these guys knew what they were talking about. I went back to my operations group and told them about the class, a lot of them with decades of medical training, and they wanted to see it. I brought Lee’s group into my plant for operations EMR training. Operations guys with years and years of experience learned a lot and told me it was the best class for medical training they ever had. I highly recommend this company for any safety professional looking for a medical instructor for EMR training of your emergency response team.

I have had the distinct honor of knowing Lee Vernon the last several years and have watched, with rapt attention, him growing his business within our industry, which is a very difficult thing to do as our industry can sometimes eat their own. He rises above that, both personally and professionally. His level of integrity coupled with his passion for teaching makes him a dynamic duo embodied in one man. He's serious about getting the word out on how to not only protect yourself but those that you care for. I was recently honored to work alongside him in a "combo" class. I will say this, the synergy we experienced while teaching together was nothing short of amazing and unheard of. No egos, no pontification. Just 2 guys who believe in what they do, meshing the curriculum so solidly that you'd have thought that we had all been teaching together for years. That's the way it's supposed to be done and Lee does that well, many times over.

My site's emergency response team has been working with Code 3 Medical for all of our medical response training for almost a decade. Lee and his team have been an extremely valuable piece of our team's capability to provide quality medical care whenever we're called upon. Code 3's approach and versatility to what they teach and how they teach it have provided our responders with more hands on training in real world simulations than other courses that teach from a book. The knowledge and skillset is top notch from Lee and all of Code 3's instructors. They are in constant contact with us to work on developing new training tactics and ideas to provide base national registry and state requirements while also breaking outside of the box for wilderness medicine, active shooter response, industrial specific scenarios, and much more. Our team wouldn't be where we are today without the dedication of Lee and his team to help us expand our knowledge and skills.
