In the early 1990s, Southwire established first responders programs at many of its plants for those instances when medical attention is required before the ambulance arrives. Beyond basic first aid, team members complete the same 13-week training required for emergency medical technicians and pass a two-hour national registry test. Many of our first responders also give back by working as EMTs in their communities.
