First Aid: Preparation and Response is a 51-minute online course that trains employees on essential first aid techniques, emergency response procedures, and workplace injury treatment as required by OSHA under 29 CFR 1910.151 for general industry and 29 CFR 1926.50 for construction. It is designed for designated first aid responders and all employees who may need to provide emergency care in the workplace and includes a downloadable certificate of completion.
OSHA's Medical Services and First Aid standard at 29 CFR 1910.151(b) requires employers to have personnel adequately trained in first aid when the workplace is not near an infirmary, clinic, or hospital. OSHA interprets this to mean that emergency care must be available within 3-4 minutes for workplaces where serious injuries such as falls, electrocution, or amputation are possible. For lower-hazard workplaces like offices, OSHA allows a response time of up to 15 minutes. The standard applies to all employers regardless of company size or industry. Employers who fail to have trained first aid personnel available face serious citations of up to $16,550 per violation.
This course provides your employees with comprehensive first aid training covering wound care, bleeding control, burn treatment, fracture stabilization, shock management, and emergency response protocols. Your team will learn how to assess a scene for safety, prioritize injuries, activate emergency medical services, and provide critical first aid until professional responders arrive. The course also addresses the legal protections available to workplace first aid providers and the importance of maintaining current first aid skills through regular refresher training.
OSHA's Medical Services and First Aid standard at 29 CFR 1910.151(b) requires that when no infirmary, clinic, or hospital is in near proximity to the workplace, employers must have employees adequately trained to render first aid with adequate supplies readily available. OSHA interprets near proximity as a 3-4 minute response time for workplaces with serious injury potential, extending to 15 minutes for lower-risk environments like offices. The construction standard at 29 CFR 1926.50(c) has parallel requirements and specifically requires that a person with a valid first aid certificate be available at the worksite. Training certifications from the American Red Cross, American Heart Association, and National Safety Council are accepted by OSHA. Employees designated as first aid providers are also covered by the Bloodborne Pathogens standard at 29 CFR 1910.1030, requiring BBP training and hepatitis B vaccination offers. Penalties for failing to provide trained first aid personnel can reach $16,550 per serious violation and $165,514 for willful violations.
