Re: Good for them Anyone ever think that Comcast may require employee's to take the class because then it will lower liability or insurance cost for Comcast or something?
Anyway, enough of that, it's great to see any person do a great deed like this!! Btw, was it also Comcast many months back that saved someone else or found a criminal or something? |

Locally it is just to be able to offer assistance if they are ever in the situation just as this. Since the techs are in homes every day they are more likely to be in a position to use such skills than others. No worse feeling than standing around waiting on EMS and not being able to assist.

Actually the reason they are required to take the cpr class is the fact that the techs are climbing poles often with medium voltage (15-30KV) lines present. If one of them ever gets zapped by those power co. lines, it would be a real good idea to have somebody present that knows cpr. The quicker they are revived after a zap, the better their chances of full recovery. |
