KEMS

KEMS has been providing essential safety training and consulting services to businesses throughout Lawrence County and western Pennsylvania since our founding. We specialize in first aid, CPR, and workplace safety education, understanding that proper emergency preparedness can mean the difference between life and death in critical situations. Our certified instructors bring real-world experience to every training session, ensuring your employees receive practical, applicable knowledge they can use when it matters most. What sets KEMS apart is our comprehensive approach to workplace safety. We don't just teach CPR and first aid—we help businesses develop complete emergency response capabilities. From initial risk assessments to ongoing training programs, we work with you to create a safety-conscious workplace culture that protects your employees and meets regulatory requirements.

Our core services center around first aid and CPR certification programs that meet American Heart Association and American Red Cross standards. We offer Basic Life Support (BLS), Heartsaver CPR/AED, and First Aid courses tailored to workplace environments. Beyond basic certifications, we provide specialized training in workplace emergency response, including evacuation procedures and emergency action plan development. We also conduct comprehensive workplace safety assessments focusing on emergency preparedness and response capabilities. Our consultants evaluate your current emergency procedures, identify gaps in preparation, and recommend improvements to enhance employee safety. We offer ongoing program management including annual recertification training, emergency drill planning and execution, and updates to emergency procedures based on regulatory changes or operational modifications. Additionally, we provide consultation on AED placement and maintenance programs to ensure your facility is prepared for cardiac emergencies.

Getting started with KEMS begins with a consultation to understand your business needs, current emergency preparedness level, and training requirements. We'll discuss the size of your workforce, types of potential emergencies specific to your operations, and any regulatory requirements you must meet. Based on this information, we'll recommend appropriate training programs and scheduling options. For businesses needing comprehensive emergency preparedness support, we conduct a facility assessment to evaluate current emergency equipment, procedures, and response capabilities. We then develop a customized training plan that may include multiple certification programs, emergency drill procedures, and ongoing recertification schedules. Our flexible scheduling accommodates shift work and operational requirements to minimize disruption to your business.

KEMS serves businesses throughout Lawrence County including Pulaski, New Castle, Ellwood City, and surrounding communities. We extend our services throughout western Pennsylvania within approximately 60 miles of our base, including parts of Beaver, Butler, and Mercer counties. Our mobile training capabilities allow us to conduct sessions at your facility, making it convenient for your employees to receive certification without leaving the workplace.
