New SCA Infographics and Form Field Flyers

HSI recently created two new Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) Facts flyers with updated statistics that you can email or print and use to promote your business or post in your employee breakrooms. 

Two versions, one that fits an 8.5" x 11" sheet of paper, and a longer version with additional statistics, are HSI branded. Each version also has a customizable design so you can add your Training Center's contact information and logo.

Here are direct links to the PDF's:

• SCA Facts (Short Version)
• SCA Facts (Short Version - Customizable)
• SCA Facts (Long Version)
• SCA Facts (Long Version - Customizable)

To customize the PDFs, you'll need to first download the file to your computer. 

Customizable versions (labeled form field flyers) of the SCA infographics and other HSI materials are available in Otis by clicking on:

Attention: TCs Offering Mariner Training and Certification for USCG Regulatory Compliance

The National Maritime Center (NMC) is a unit of the United States Coast Guard (USGC) under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. NMC has been granted authority to regulate the training and licensing of U.S. mariners, guided by the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations Title 46, Chapter I, Subchapter B.  

A current first aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) certification is required for a Merchant Mariner Credential. HSI Adult First Aid | CPR AED (Version 9.0) was approved by the USGC/NMC for this purpose effective May 1, 2022.  However, there are specific conditions for USCG acceptance that apply to every HSI approved Training Center and authorized instructor or instructor trainer.

A USCG approved HSI Recognition of Participation document must be issued to each mariner who successfully completes the class, along with a HSI Adult First Aid | CPR AED certification card.

USCG marine inspectors and/or NMC staff will not accept the HSI Adult First Aid | CPR AED certification card as meeting the regulatory requirements for a Merchant Mariner Credential if it is not accompanied by the USCG approved HSI Recognition of Participation document.

We have been advised by the NMC on multiple occasions that mariners are not receiving the USCG approved and required HSI Recognition of Participation document. This document is included within the USCG Regulatory Compliance Requirements for Training U.S. Mariners.

These requirements have been published in the Training Center Administrative Manual (TCAM) for ASHI and MEDIC First Aid and have been posted in the national approvals database in Otis for at least the past 12 years. If you are new to HSI or were accustomed to the previous EMS Safety process for USCG approval, please read these requirements carefully.

Please remember that HSI approved Training Centers and authorized instructors are required to comply with all applicable local, state, provincial, federal laws and administrative rules governing the approval, delivery, and administration of occupationally required training.

Q&A: What are HSI pricing discount levels? 

Your TC's discount level correlates with how much your TC has spent on HSI emergency care products year-to-date. 

All product purchases from the HSI store, regardless of type, apply toward your pricing discount level. Shipping and tax are excluded. 

After you spend a certain amount on HSI emergency care products, your TC reaches the next "gate" or discount level. This means your TC is eligible for greater discounts on every future order you place in the HSI store. 

This means the more you spend, the more you save on future purchases of eligible HSI student materials like certification cards and skill guides.

Discount levels are determined by calendar year, January 1 to December 31. Once you reach one of the five discount levels, you remain at that level for the rest of the current calendar year, as well as the following year.

For example, if your TC reaches the gate for level 2 in June of 2024, you enjoy that discount level through the rest of 2024, and through 2025. Your TC spending in 2025 determines if you stay at level 2, go up to level 3 partway through 2025, or move to level 1 on January 1 of 2026.
