Tesco has announced that it will be encouraging all of its 300,000 staff in the UK to learn CPR. In doing so it follows in the footsteps of other big companies in Travelodge and Royal Mail.
It will be the first grocer to roll out the RevivR tool to its personnel. As part of the move, more than 2,500 defibrillators, which are in its Tesco stores, are being registered on The Circuit, which is the National Defibrillator Network, reports the MEN.
Royal Mail has already promoted the RevivR tool to its staff through its digital channels, on posters in 200 of its sites and through features in its in-house magazine, Courier. The aim is for postmen and postwomen to achieve a basic understanding of CPR, should they encounter a member of the public in need of help.
