Mike Foster said; “we are excited to be launching our cloud based version as well as the e-learning package at this years Safety & Health Expo in May. The content and delivery style has been very well received, so we have decided to offer the alternative delivery channels to help accessibility and measurability”.

At the expo, the team will be demonstrating on their stand, life saving techniques that are shown on the DVD such as Basic Life Support CPR.
