What you are going to learn

This online training certification course provides OSHA and MSHA first aid training to help employees stay safe.

Seconds count in an emergency. Providing workplace first aid training and certification can save lives. Regulators like the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) emphasize the importance of providing first aid safety training to employees, especially at remote work areas. Stabilizing victims on site before moving them can lead to better patient outcomes.

Who This Course is For

Case Study: In October of 2011, a coworker noticed a new employee was taking a break from their laborious work and did not look well. The victim's symptoms progressed and after a significant delay, he received medical treatment. The victim died shortly after EMS began treatment. The cause of death was determined to be heat exhaustion - an easily preventable and treatable condition if employees are properly trained to recognize symptoms in coworkers. No other workers were trained in first aid or CPR.

Key Takeaways: If an organization lacks employees trained in first aid, EMS must be contacted immediately any time an employee's health is in question. Even a slight delay in treatment can mean the difference between life and death in emergency situations.

OSHA defines the general first aid requirements for all industries in 29 CFR 1910.151. Construction-specific requirements are listed in 29 CFR 1926.50.

Additionally, MSHA first aid requirements are codified by mine type in 30 CFR 56.18010 (surface mines), 57.18010 (underground mines), 75.1713 (underground coal mines), and 77.1703-1706 (surface coal mines).

Exam

It will take a MINIMUM of 2 hours to complete this online course. The student may log on and off as needed. A bookmark will be set so when they log back in they will return to where they left off.

We have no restrictions on how long a person takes to complete a course.

MSHA requires miners who work under Part 46 and Part 48 to receive annual retraining. This online training course meets these requirements.

OSHA does not prescribe a recertification schedule. However, the general duty clause in 29 U.S. Code 654 requires every employer to "furnish to each of his employees employment and a place of employment which are free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm." Periodic first aid training reduces the risk of fatal injury.

Each student will receive 0.2 CEUs (or 2 CMEs) from Compliance Training Online® for completing this course.
