Coranavirus update
Safety Basics is open for individual, group & business training following St. Louis County pandemic guidelines. We are offering in person and virtual classes.
For class scheduling due to the outbreak of the coronavirus , we are asking that if you become ill with fever, cough or other signs of a upper respiratory infection that you reschedule your in person class. If you have been exposed to the coronavirus , please wait 5-14 days symptom free, following CDC guidelines or negative testing for those fully vaccinated & boostered to schedule or attend a class.
For our certification level training, we do offer the option to purchase your own face mask kit. Currently it is optional to practice mouth to mouth or mouth to mask breaths in class. We are running smaller classes to maintain social distancing. Since we are a healthcare training facility, we do ask that class participants continue to wear a face mask to class and during class. We follow AHA cleaning and decontamination guidelines for our CPR equipment.
