When an emergency happens, every second matters!
W&M Hawthorne recently held Safety Days for our field and office teams, providing First Aid and CPR training led by Rene Ferris, with assistance from Ana Lozano.
The training focused on recognizing and responding to emergencies, including injuries, sudden illnesses, heat and cold emergencies, and breathing and cardiac situations.
These skills go beyond the workplace. Being prepared means having the confidence to help a coworker, customer, family member, or someone in our community when they need it most.
At W&M Hawthorne, safety is about protecting one another every day.

If someone is in cardiac arrest, every minute counts.

Did you know that EMS often arrives in 8–12 minutes which is significant since survival drops each minute without defibrillation.

W&M Fire & Security's AED monitoring program ensures your unit is always ready — using the Stryker LIFEPAK CR2, which provides clear voice and visual prompts to guide anyone in lifesaving steps.

Paired with CPR, survival odds can TRIPLE.

How frustrating is it when the paperwork is wrong or incomplete? We get it.

At our work at W&M Fire & Security, a member of the DU Family of Companies, documentation is just as critical as the pipe, fittings, and equipment we install.

Whether you're designing, installing, inspecting, or maintaining systems, staying aligned with IBC/IFC requirements and NFPA 13/25 is essential—not just for compliance, but for protecting owners and the integrity of the system.

This article from NFSA breaks down the “paper trail” we all navigate and is a solid resource for anyone looking to tighten up their documentation process.
