First Aid and CPR Training
Workplace first aid, CPR and AED training for the trained responders OSHA expects on site when medical help is not close by.
What to Expect
OSHA requires that someone adequately trained to render first aid be available when a workplace is not in near proximity to an infirmary, clinic or hospital. We deliver first aid, CPR and AED training built for workplace responders rather than clinical staff — recognising a cardiac arrest, controlling serious bleeding, and managing the injuries that actually occur in industrial and construction settings until emergency services arrive.
- Standard
- 29 CFR 1910.151(b) — Medical services and first aid
- Who needs it
- Designated workplace responders, safety committee members and supervisors on sites without nearby medical facilities
- Covers
- Adult CPR, AED use, choking, bleeding control and workplace injury response
- Format
- Delivered onsite at your facility or job site, or by live virtual session with Q&A and documentation.
What 'near proximity' means in practice
OSHA does not put a number on it in the standard itself, but interpretation letters have treated response times of three to four minutes as the benchmark where serious injuries are possible. For most job sites and many plants, that means a trained responder on site is not optional. If you are unsure whether your facility qualifies, that assessment is worth doing before an incident answers the question.
Bleeding control deserves more attention than it gets
Severe bleeding can become fatal in a matter of minutes — faster than most emergency services can arrive. Direct pressure, wound packing and correct tourniquet use are simple skills that a lay responder can learn and apply, and on a site with moving equipment or cutting tools they are more likely to be needed than CPR.
