Compliance and Certification Requirements

While OSHA doesn’t have a specific general industry regulation solely focused on CPR training, it mandates employers to provide a safe workplace free from recognized hazards, which includes those related to cardiac arrest, under the General Duty Clause. This course satisfies the regulatory requirement(s). Furthermore, In the electrical industry, specific people must be certified in CPR if they work on exposed lines or “equipment energized at 50 volts or more.” If there are two or more employees at one location, at least two must be CPR trained. When working at stationary locations, OSHA does not outline a specific number of people that need to be certified. Rather, OSHA says that enough people must be certified to guarantee that if an incident occurs, there is someone who can reach the person in four minutes (29 CFR 1910.269(b)(1)).
