About Perennial Safety

Perennial Safety provides on-site CPR, AED, and First Aid training for healthcare practices, workplaces, schools, youth programs, and community organizations across the Upstate region.

Our goal is simple: equip teams with the confidence and skills to respond effectively when emergencies occur.

Practical Training for Real Environments

Many CPR courses are taught in classroom settings far removed from the environments where emergencies actually happen. Perennial Safety focuses on practical training delivered directly at the workplace or organization, allowing teams to learn and practice skills in the same environments where they work and serve others every day.

Courses emphasize:

  • recognizing medical emergencies early

  • effective team response during critical moments

  • confident use of AEDs and life-saving skills

  • situational awareness that improves safety culture

We specialize in blended learning programs that allow staff to complete the online portion on their own schedule, followed by efficient on-site skills sessions and digital certification management. The result is less downtime, better compliance, and a smoother experience for both employees and administrators.

Efficient Training Through Blended Learning

Perennial Safety utilizes blended Learning programs that combine online coursework with streamlined in-person skills sessions.

This approach allows organizations to:

  • reduce staff downtime

  • simplify scheduling for busy teams

  • maintain compliance with certification requirements

  • create a smoother training experience for both employees and administrators

The result is high-quality training that fits into real organizational schedules without disrupting operations.

Leadership with Real-World Emergency Experience

Perennial Safety is led by Jayson Sherrod, an Emergency Medical Technician with experience across healthcare, construction, and community safety environments.

His professional background includes:

  • emergency medical response in clinical settings

  • occupational health and safety support on large construction projects

  • workforce safety training and emergency preparedness

  • leadership in community health education initiatives

This combination of clinical experience and occupational safety insight allows training to be tailored to the realities organizations face every day.

Organizations We Serve

Perennial Safety provides training for a wide range of organizations, including:

  • healthcare practices

  • schools and childcare programs

  • construction and workplace safety teams

  • youth programs and camps

  • community organizations and nonprofits

Training is delivered on-site and designed around the operational needs of each organization.

Our Mission

Our mission is to foster care, protection, and situational awareness across the environments where people live, work, and serve their communities.

By helping organizations prepare their teams for emergencies, we strengthen the safety culture that protects both individuals and the communities they serve.

Why “Perennial” Safety?

The name Perennial Safety reflects a simple philosophy: safety training should be ongoing, dependable, and built to last.

Just as perennial plants return year after year, effective safety programs require consistent renewal, preparation, and care.

Our focus is not only helping organizations meet certification requirements today, but building long-term readiness through recurring training, situational awareness, and strong safety culture.

Because preparedness is not a one-time event — it is something that grows stronger over time.
