CPR 2000 Online interactive Training

16 minutesENSafety Training29 CFR 1910.151(b) - Medical Services and First Aid
Quick Answer

CPR 2000 is a 16-minute online course that provides an overview of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques and emergency response procedures for the workplace. It is designed for employees who serve on first aid teams or who may need to respond to cardiac emergencies, and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.

Course Overview

Cardiac arrest can happen in any workplace, and the actions taken in the first few minutes are critical. According to the American Heart Association, roughly 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States each year, and effective CPR performed immediately can double or triple a victim's chance of survival. OSHA requires employers in certain industries to have trained first aid responders available when emergency medical services are not within reasonable proximity, and CPR awareness is a foundational component of any workplace first aid program.

This course provides your employees with an overview of CPR fundamentals, including recognizing the signs of cardiac arrest, activating emergency medical services, and performing basic chest compressions and rescue breathing. It prepares your team to respond confidently in an emergency while waiting for professional medical help to arrive. Note that this online awareness course provides foundational knowledge and does not replace hands-on CPR certification required by the American Heart Association or American Red Cross for designated first aid responders.

Regulatory Background

OSHA requires employers to ensure prompt first aid treatment for injured employees under 29 CFR 1910.151(b) for general industry and 29 CFR 1926.50(c) for construction. When a workplace is not in near proximity to a clinic or hospital, the employer must have persons adequately trained to render first aid. While OSHA does not prescribe a specific CPR course, having trained first aid responders with CPR knowledge is a recognized component of compliance. Serious violations of the first aid standard carry penalties up to $16,550 as of 2025. The American Heart Association and the American Red Cross provide the primary CPR certification standards in the United States, and OSHA accepts training from either organization. This awareness-level course supplements but does not replace hands-on certification.

Frequently Asked Questions

This course provides CPR awareness and foundational knowledge, but it does not replace the hands-on CPR certification required by OSHA for designated first aid responders. Under 29 CFR 1910.151(b), employers must have adequately trained first aid personnel when EMS is not readily accessible. Designated responders should complete a certified hands-on CPR course from the American Heart Association or American Red Cross in addition to this awareness training.
OSHA requires first aid-trained personnel at any workplace that is not in near proximity to a hospital or clinic. This applies broadly to construction sites, manufacturing facilities, warehouses, remote field operations, and other workplaces where emergency medical response times may exceed a few minutes. Even workplaces near medical facilities benefit from having CPR-trained staff, as immediate response significantly improves cardiac arrest survival rates.
The American Heart Association and American Red Cross both recommend CPR certification renewal every two years. OSHA does not specify a renewal interval in 29 CFR 1910.151, but accepts the AHA and Red Cross renewal schedules as the standard of care. Employers should track certification dates and schedule renewals before they expire.
CPR awareness training covers the knowledge and theory behind CPR techniques - recognition, technique, and emergency response procedures. CPR certification includes hands-on skills practice and evaluation with a qualified instructor, typically using mannequins to demonstrate competency. OSHA's first aid requirement is satisfied by certification, not awareness training alone.
All 50 states have Good Samaritan laws that provide legal protection to individuals who provide emergency assistance in good faith. Employers who provide CPR training and encourage response to cardiac emergencies are generally protected from liability. The greater legal risk for employers is failing to have any trained responders available when required by OSHA, which can result in citations and penalties.
