# FIRST AID FIRSTAID Last Review: 08/01/2025 Date Posted: 05/12/2025 ## First Aid Accidents can happen in any workplace, regardless of the number of safety policies and procedures in place. In such cases, it is essential to have a basic understanding of first aid policies to provide safe and effective help to the injured worker. The primary goal of first aid is to save lives, prevent the injured person's condition from worsening, and seek medical assistance as soon as possible. Knowing basic first aid can make a significant difference in saving someone's life. However, as an employee, you are not obligated to provide first aid if it makes you uncomfortable. On construction sites, rendering first aid is mandatory after an accident or whenever necessary. A tailored first aid response, depending on the workplace type and size, can make all the difference between life and death during an incident. In accordance with WAC [redacted identifier], WAC [redacted identifier], and WAC [redacted identifier], several critical elements of an effective first-aid response program for the site exist. These include: • Properly trained number and available personnel to provide quick and effective first aid. • All crew leaders, supervisors, or persons in charge of one or more employees must have a valid first aid certificate. - Appropriate first-aid supplies or first-aid stations. • First aid supplies are readily available to all workers and are suited for the work location. • Procedures for summoning emergency services. • All vehicles that transport work crews are equipped with first aid supplies. ## COMMUNICATION OF JOB SITE FIRST AID Employers have a responsibility to ensure that all employees are aware of where emergency information is posted at the work site. It is also important for employers to train employees on how to contact emergency services in the event of a serious accident. An emergency notification posting must be present at the job site, which should inc…

# First Aid - General (cont.) ## What are first aid requirements? (cont.) First aid regulations will specify, in detail, your jurisdiction's requirements. These details will include: - The need for a first aid attendant - The availability of first aid attendants during working hours - The level of training or certification required for the first aid attendant - The number of first aid attendants required (during operational hours or per shift) - The type and amount of first aid supplies and facilities (content of first aid kits and room equipment) - The location of kits and notices (in some cases) - Emergency transportation - Incident documentation and reporting requirements Legislation may also specify that first aid supplies are to be, for example: - Stocked with required and appropriate items - Kept clean and dry - Checked regularly for expiry dates - Maintained so they meet the regulations - Requirements, at a minimum (e.g., restocked when supplies are used) - Stored in a visible and accessible location Since legislation varies by jurisdiction, contact your local jurisdiction for exact details. A list is available in the OSH Answers on Canadian Governmental Occupational Health and Safety. Departments. A list of which acts and regulations that cover first aid is available on our website. Please note that while you can see the list of legislation for free, you will need a subscription to view the actual documentation.

# First Aid - General (cont.) ## What should workers know about first aid? (cont.) - Location of first aid room and/or first aid kit(s) - Location of a list of first aid attendants which indicates where to find the attendant or a telephone number - Location of a list of nearest medical facilities (name, address, operating hours and telephone numbers) - Location of a list of the organization's key personnel by name, title and telephone numbers that are prioritized by "call first, call second, etc." ## Do I need to do a hazard assessment for first aid? While a first aid hazard assessment is not required in all jurisdictions, conducting one will ensure the workplace is prepared for all likely emergencies and the types of first aid treatment that may be needed. It is essential to know the exact hazards in the workplace as being prepared will also help reduce the severity of any events. For example, if you work in an autobody repair shop, provisions should be made to have training and first aid supplies for: - Burns and welding flash from welding - Burns and eye injuries from grinding - Cuts, scrapes, etc., from general work - Chemical exposure to the eye or skin from paints, thinners, gasoline, etc - Muscle injuries from lifting and bending - Etc. Depending on the workplace, there may also be a need to consider: - Chemicals that may require a specific sequence of treatment steps, emergency eye- wash stations or showers, or an antidote. Please see the OSH Answers on First Aid for Chemical Exposures for more details. - Crowd control (e.g., at schools, retail stores, music concerts, fairgrounds, etc.). - Special needs (e.g., persons with disabilities, known medical conditions, age of persons regularly in the workplace — especially children or elderly). - Allergic reactions to certain medications, foods, insect bites or stings, chemicals, materials or products. Please see the OSH Answers about using Epinephrine Auto- injector for more details. - W…

# Occupational Safety and Health Administration (cont.) ## Background (cont.) American National Standard (ANSI)-Z308.1-1998, "Minimum Requirements for Workplace First Aid Kits." That document lists compresses and bandages to stop bleeding. The updated ANSI Z308.1-2015 provides recommendations for Class A kits, which are minimum kits for workplaces, and Class B kits, which are for workplaces with a high risk for severe injuries. Class A kits have bandages, trauma pads, and sterile pads to stop bleeding. Class B kits have not only the items in Class A kits to stop bleeding, but also tourniquets. As we have stated above, adequate first aid training includes instructions on applying direct pressure, using hemostatic dressings, and using tourniquets in certain situations. However, the 2015 ANSI standard on first aid kits differentiates between industries in terms of the types of kits which employers should have. Considering both the 2015 AHA/ARC Guidelines and the 2015 ANSI standard together, OSHA interprets the provision to have adequate first aid supplies in 29 CFR 1910.151 with respect to bleeding control to mean that general industry workplaces must have the items for bleeding control listed for Class A kits, unless the workplace has a high risk of serious injuries, in which case the items listed for Class B kits, including tourniquets, are required. Thus, based on historical information, OSHA strongly recommends that industries where amputations are likely use Class B kits (such as, but not limited to, those in OSHA's Amputations NEP). The shipyard first aid standard at 29 CFR 1915. 87(d) requires that the employer provide and maintain “adequate first aid supplies" and that the supplies be “adequate” in terms of the hazards present at the worksite, among other things. The preamble to the proposed Subpart F of Part 1915 on general working conditions in shipyards states: "Working in shipyards is one of the riskiest occupations in the United States." It notes danger…

# Introduction and Purpose (cont.) ## OSHA Requirements (cont.) OSHA www.osha.gov 1910.410 Qualifications of Dive Team 1926.950 Construction Subpart V, Power Transmission and Distribution If an employee is expected to render first aid as part of his or her job duties, the employee is covered by the requirements of the Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens standard (29 CFR 1910.1030). This standard includes specific training requirements. A few of the medical emergency procedures mentioned in this guide as first aid may be considered medical treatment for OSHA recordkeeping purposes. The OSHA Recording and Reporting Occupational Injuries and Illnesses regulation (29 CFR 1904) provides specific definitions of first aid and medical treatment. If a medical emergency procedure which is considered by 29 CFR 1904 to be medical treatment is performed on an employee with an occupational injury or illness, then the injury or illness will be regarded as recordable on the OSHA 300 Log. ## First-Aid Supplies It is advisable for the employer to give a specific person the respon- sibility for choosing the types and amounts of first-aid supplies and for maintaining these supplies. The supplies must be adequate, should reflect the kinds of injuries that occur, and must be stored in an area where they are readily available for emergency access. An automated external defibrillator (AED) should be considered when selecting first-aid supplies and equipment. A specific example of the minimal contents of a workplace first- aid kit is described in American National Standards Institute ANSI Z308.1 - 2003, Minimum Requirements for Workplace First Aid Kits. The kits described are suitable for small businesses. For large operations, employers should determine how many first-aid kits are needed, and if it is appropriate to augment the kits with additional first-aid equipment and supplies. Employers who have unique or changing first-aid needs should consider upgrading their fir…

# Occupational Safety and Health Administration (cont.) ## Background (cont.) Response: In particular regards to first aid certification and training, the general industry first aid standard, 29 CFR 1910.151(b)², provides that where first aiders are required they "...shall be adequately trained to render first aid" (emphasis added). OSHA does not certify first aid training programs, instructors, or trainees. As OSHA noted in a previous letter of interpretation to Mr. Larry M. Starr, PHD, January 6, 1995, "We recognize any nationally accepted and medically sound first aid program that covers the fundamentals of first aid as meeting the requirements stated in 29 CFR 1910.151. The specific content of first aid programs must be consistent with the work environment in question, and with the type of work being done." However, the American Red Cross is a nationally-recognized first aid organization upon which OSHA has relied for guidance. As stated in a 1978 agreement between OSHA and the Red Cross, CPL 02-00-002, "Persons who have a current training certificate in the American Red Cross Basic, Standard or Advanced First Aid Course shall be considered as adequately trained to render first aid in fulfilling the requirements of the Occupational Safety and Health Standards, Subpart K., Medical and First Aid (29 CFR 1910.151(b)), The American Red Cross Standard Course is the recommended MINIMUM level of first-aid training." This agreement is still in effect. In addition, as stated on OSHA's Medical and First Aid Safety and Health Topics webpage, "First aid training is primarily received through the American Heart Association, American Red Cross, National Safety Council (NSC), and private institutions. The American Heart Association, American Red Cross and NSC offer standard and advanced first aid courses via their local chapter/training centers.... An emphasis on quick response to first aid situations is incorporated throughout the program." For some specific industries, …

- WAC 296-45-125 Medical services and first aid. The employer must provide medical services and first aid as required in WAC [redacted identifier]. The following requirements also apply: (1) Cardiopulmonary resuscitation and first-aid training. When employees are performing work on or associated with exposed lines or equipment energized at 50 volts or more, persons trained in first aid including cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) must be available as follows: (a) For field work involving two or more employees at a work lo- cation, at least two trained persons must be available. However, for line-clearance tree trimming operations performed by line-clearance tree trimmers who are not qualified electrical employees, only one trained person need be available if all new employees are trained in first aid, including CPR, within three months of their hiring dates. (b) For fixed work locations such as generating stations, the number of trained persons available must be sufficient to ensure that each employee exposed to electric shock can be reached within four mi- nutes by a trained person. However, where the existing number of em- ployees is insufficient to meet this requirement (at a remote substa- tion, for example), all employees at the work location will be trained. (2) First-aid supplies. First-aid supplies required by WAC [redacted identifier] must be placed in weatherproof containers if the supplies could be exposed to the weather. (3) First-aid kits. The employer must maintain each first-aid kit, ensure that it is readily available for use, and must inspect it frequently enough to ensure that expended items are replaced. The em- ployer also must inspect each first-aid kit at least once per year. (4) Any employer with employees who operate, maintain, or con- struct high voltage lines and equipment or who conduct line-clearance tree trimming in close proximity to high voltage lines and equipment must: (a) Make an automated external defibrillator available, s…

# First Aid and Emergency Requirements for Construction (cont.) ## MIOSHA Rules: (cont.) Page 2 First Aid and Emergency Requirements for Construction Although Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training is not a requirement under MIOSHA standards, MIOSHA recommends CPR training along with first aid training. A number of construction accidents may not be addressed in a basic first aid course. A victim of an electrical contact whose breathing and/or heart has stopped must receive immediate assistance from a CPR trained person or death is likely to occur within three to five minutes. There are other types of construction accidents, such as falls, drowning and cave-ins that may also require CPR. Where a remote location or a single employee worksite exists, an employer must provide a written plan that includes alternate methods of assuring available treatment for employees at a remote location or single-employee worksite. The written plan must be communicated to all affected employees. Part 1, General Rules Rule 132(5) requires first aid supplies be available on each jobsite. It states: "An employer shall assure that there are first aid supplies at each jobsite and that the supplies are readily accessible." First aid supplies must be sealed in individual packages, stored in a weatherproof container, and inspected before they are sent out to the jobsite and at least weekly to replace any expended items. Employees must be made aware of the location of the first aid supplies. Part 1, General Rules Rule 132(6) requires that the contents of a first aid kit must be approved by a consulting physician. The American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Z308.1-2003 “Minimum Requirements for Workplace First Aid Kits" requires certain first aid supplies and quantities and recommends other items. ## Required: ## Recommended: Adhesive Bandage (1 x 3 in.) x10 Adhesive Tape (2.5 yd) x1 Antibiotic Application (0.018 oz.) x10 Antiseptic (0.018 oz.) x10 Breathing Barrier x1 Burn …
