Start a fund then and get each employee to contribute $10 a piece....Then with the extra $1K send 5 employees to Red Cross CPR class.....
Here's how us paramedics do it
Charge the defibrillator to 360 joules
Say "I'm clear, you're clear, everybody clear"
Whaa-thwack! <---kinda what it sounds like
(Note the acrid smell of burnt hair and skin.)
Check for a pulse
If you find one,hold hands and sing "You light up my life"... :)
Interesting idea. Although, I doubt I could get more than fifty or so to participate. Half of them speak spanish, Chinese, Bosnian, or some other language. I couldn't possibly convey the meaning of what I am trying to do to them.
The rest would look at it as the company's responsibility. "Why should I give ten bucks? Make the company pay for it."
