Is First Aid Training Manatory for ALL worksites?
From time to time I review my competitor’s web sites to see what is going on. Recently, I found a site that stated in a font size of about 48 and bright red letters that First Aid training was mandatory and then when they sited the regulation, they dropped down to a font size of about 10. The regulation they sited was for the logging industry not all industry as they are leading people to believe. I think this is meant to lead the reader to believe that first aid training is mandatory in all areas of the working environment, which is just not true. I think it is being done just to drum up business by fear……I have formed The Safety Center into a company that values integrity in everything that we do. I have been working as a Health and Safety Consultant for over 30 years and am certified by the Department of Defense as an instructor…so I’m not just someone that went to a two day instructor trainer course. Don’t be fooled by someone that can’t cite a regulation and state the truth of the intent of the law. If you want the truth, check out my FAQ under my first aid page. Some jobs are required to be certified in First Aid/CPR but not ALL. Check out my list and if all else fails just call and ask me……

Rick,
Thanks for posting this comment…these “self-proclaimed” instructors generated from AHA and ARC come and go…The rest of the Training Centers have to deal with the mess they generate. Nice to have another trainer in the area with a background in Adult Learning Principles and industry know-how to conduct a Training Session!
Have a Safe and Enjoyable Summer!

I am just amazed the guy finally took down the stuff about this training being mandatory. I can only think that maybe he has been doing some studying….. It goes to show if you want the truth go to the person that knows…….. Don’t go to the person that thinks they know and there is a LOT of them out there.
