Dental Care Providers

Code 3 Safety & Training is the preferred choice for BLS training and OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens certification among dental care providers in the Portland, Oregon region or throughout the Northwest. We are a company that specializes in the highest quality BLS training using experienced EMS instructors in an on-site training environment. Our staff includes working and retired paramedics and EMTs who have performed CPR in the community hundreds of times. We know what it is like to respond to a cardiac arrest and perform CPR. We will relate that experience to you, maximizing the benefit to your staff and patients.

Our BLS training & certification class not only provides your dental care staff with competency in providing CPR but also enhances your staff’s knowledge and readiness by providing content applicable to your office and procedures. Code 3 Safety & Training creates a comprehensive “crash cart” that includes supplies to maximize the effectiveness of a CPR response and streamline the transfer of patient care between your office and 911 responders. We will help ensure the best possible outcome.

In addition to unparalleled BLS training, Code 3 Safety & Training will partner with you to create a centralized OSHA BLS training program for dental care providers with multiple locations throughout the Northwest. We have the infrastructure and the experience to create a solution that works for you. Contact us today for your next on-site BLS class in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, WA!
