Contact your local American Red Cross. They have a CPR/First Aid/Module programs for the workplace.
First Aid is responding to an emergency situation - heart attacks, bleeding, drowning, choking, poisoning, electrocution, spinal injuries, eye injuries and scalds and burns are typical situations where having a basic knowledge of what to do- knowing proper first aid procedures- you can be the hero. Accidents happen, always unexpectedly, having a basic knowledge of first aid is just being wise. And having a first aid kit or disaster preparedness kit is just good common sense.

Technically, CPR is in the category of First Aid. But if I were to choose between the two, I would say First Aid. CPR is only used on people who seems to have no circulation (breathing, movements, and coughing) while First Aids cover other things like cuts, burns, and other injuries.
A person who hold a first aid certificate, can only assist a injured person at workplace or at an incident.
No one could have discovered first aid. First aid just describes the aid that is given FIRST. It refers to the basic treatment of injuries.
