As business people, we all know that building relationships is key to long-term business success. If you spend your days irritating people, you’ll likely have a relatively short business career. But are there times when it’s necessary?
Here at the Chamber we say the answer is yes. Your public affairs team specializes in being the proverbial “fly in the ointment” when it comes to our public partners who are proposing
to implement programs that don’t fully take into account the needs and concerns of the business community. This doesn’t mean that we are angry or otherwise impolite, but it does mean that we will work tirelessly until either we are
convinced that our collective voice has been heard or until the public entity modifies its approach.
The Chamber strives to have good business relationships with our public sector colleagues. We will always be respectful, but we will never stop raising our voice on behalf of the business community. Far too often it is the few activists who dominate a conversation. Your Chamber will make sure, make no mistake about it, that a reasoned business perspective is heard by our public leaders when they consider making changes that affect your business.
Your Chamber’s public affairs team will be earning their keep every day tracking and weighing in on the civic issues that most affect our member businesses. Professional? Yes. Irritating? From whose perspective? Necessary? No question!

Have you ever been to a job interview and been asked about your first aid qualifications? If you are like most people, then the answer is no. But when a health problem in the office arises, wouldn’t you like to know who on your team is prepared? American Red Cross understands the importance of workforce health and safety training and that preparing employees for everyday risks and challenges goes beyond the conventional frozen computer dilemma or fast-approaching deadline.
Each year the American Red Cross teaches nearly 15 million people how to prepare for and respond to emergencies in their workplaces, homes, schools and communities. When a business gets involved in health education and preventative measures, it demonstrates a considerable amount of appreciation for employees and a commitment to their well-being. The bottom line is this: educating individuals on health and safety issues saves lives, gives your business the credibility it deserves, and ultimately strengthens the community.

FEATURE STORY
1. The Cardiac Chain of Survival consists of a sequence of steps that are activated in response to an emergency in which a person suffers sudden cardiac arrest. Each link in the chain is critical. Put the links in the Cardiac Chain of Survival in the correct order:
1) Early defibrillation — delivers an electrical shock to the heart with an automated external defibrillator (AED)
2) Early advanced medical care — a team of medical professionals arrives and takes over by providing advanced care and transport to a medical facility
3) Early CPR — keeps oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs
4) Early recognition and early access — a bystander recognizes an emergency and calls 9-1-1 or the local emergency number
A) 1, 3, 2, 4 B) 3, 2, 4, 1 C) 4, 3, 1, 2
2. A person is unconscious. Put the following steps in the correct order:
1) Tap the person and shout2) Open airway3) Check for signs of life (movement and normal breathing)4) Check the scene for safety A) 3, 2, 1, 4 B) 3, 2, 4, 1 C) 4, 1, 2, 3 D) 1, 3, 1, 2
3. If a choking person is coughing forcefully, what should you do?
A) Pat the person on the back forcefullyB) Give abdominal thrustsC) Encourage the person to continue coughingD) None of the above

4. CPR is a combination of —
A) Chest compressions and abdominal thrustsB) Chest compressions and rescue breathsC) Abdominal thrusts and finger sweepsD) Rescue breaths and abdominal thrusts
5. You come upon a person who has pale or bluish skin color, cold skin, and dull or sunken eyes. These are symptoms of which medical emergency?
A) High feverB) ShockC) Heart attackD) None of the above
Answers:Question 1: Answer: C. As a responder, you must first recognize an emergency before the rest of the Cardiac Chain of Survival can be put into motion. Early access to care is an important component to a successful outcome. Out of the remaining options in the list, early CPR is next. CPR keeps oxygenated blood flowing to the brain and other vital organs and tissues. Early defibrillation with an AED (automated external defibrillator) is the third step out of those listed. An AED administers a shock that can allow the heart to restore an effective rhythm. In many states, AEDs are now available in public places for use by trained laypersons. Early advanced medical care is the next step. In this step, a team of emergency medical personnel provides care at the scene and transports the person to a hospital.
Question 2: Answer: C. When an emergency happens, Check-Call-Care are the three basic steps for you to take. As a responder, you must always check to make sure the scene is safe for you and any bystanders. Next, call your local emergency number for help. Then care for the person. Always care for life-threatening emergencies before those that are not life-threatening. The ABCs, which stands for airway, breathing and circulation, will aid you in determining what care the person needs. Determine if the person's airway is open. Check for signs of life (movement and normal breathing).

Question 3: Answer: C. If the person is coughing forcefully, he or she may cough the object up, eliminating the need for you to give care. Use a combination of back blows and abdominal thrusts when the person cannot cough forcefully, speak or breathe.
Question 4: Answer: B Chest compressions help to circulate blood containing oxygen to the vital organs. Rescue breaths supply the blood with oxygen until advanced medical personnel arrive and take over. When giving CPR, give cycles of 30 compressions and 2 rescue breaths. Continue CPR until —
• Another trained responder takes over CPR for you
• Emergency medical services (EMS) personnel arrive and take over care of the person
• An automated external defibrillator (AED) becomes available
• You are exhausted and unable to continue
• The scene becomes unsafe
• Signs of life return
Question 5: Answer: B. Even if a person's injuries aren't life threatening, the person can go into shock and possibly die. Shock occurs when the person's organs and tissues don't get enough blood or oxygen. The person may be unconscious, but not always. Call for emergency help first, then follow these steps:
• Maintain an open airway for breathing
• Control obvious bleeding
• Elevate the legs about 12 inches, unless the injury makes that impossible
• Maintain normal body temperature (prevent person from getting chilled or overheated)
• Keep the person on his or her back, unless the person vomits (move person onto his or her side at that point)

Your Chamber and Moore, Costello & Hart partnered in early 2005 to create a tradition called Celebrate Business Success.
This award honors those who provide leading examples of how mermbers of the business community contribute to a shared vision of economic success throughout the Saint Paul/East Metro area.
Last August, HealthEast Medical Transportation opened its new 48,000-square-foot headquarters in East Saint Paul on the former 3M site. Dignitaries celebrated the organization’s contributions to its patients and community. In partnership with the St. Paul Port Authority, the project created work for more than 50 employers and incorporated an environmentally sound design. For these accomplishments and more, the Chamber was proud to award HealthEast Medical Transportation with the Celebrate Business Success award.
