Frequently Asked Questions
Does OSHA require employees to have first aid and CPR certification?
OSHA requires an adequately trained first aid provider when an infirmary, clinic or hospital is not located near the workplace. Some OSHA standards also contain specific first aid or CPR training requirements for certain work activities. Employers should review the standards that apply to their industry, hazards and emergency response plan.
How long does CPR and first aid certification last?
Certification periods depend on the course and credential issued. American Heart Association course completion cards are generally valid for two years. Employers may require more frequent refresher training based on workplace policies or industry requirements. Confirm the renewal date shown on your course documentation.
Can first aid and CPR certification be completed online?
Safety by Design offers online individual first aid training options. Some certification programs may also require an instructor-led hands-on skills session. Before registering, confirm the course format accepted by your employer or regulatory authority.
Do you provide CPR recertification in Houston?
Safety by Design can help employees renew first aid, CPR and AED credentials. Contact our team with the type of certification you currently hold and its expiration date so we can recommend an appropriate CPR recertification course.
What is the difference between CPR and AED training?
CPR training teaches participants how to provide chest compressions and rescue care during cardiac arrest. AED training teaches participants how to operate an automated external defibrillator and coordinate its use with CPR. Many workplace certification courses teach both skills together.
Who should receive workplace first aid and CPR training?
Employers commonly train supervisors, designated first aid responders, safety committee members, field employees and workers assigned to remote or higher-hazard locations. The appropriate number of trained employees depends on staffing, shifts, job-site conditions and access to emergency medical care.
Are group CPR classes available for Houston employers?
Yes. Safety by Design offers group first aid, CPR and AED training for companies with multiple employees. Contact the team with your group size, preferred dates and workplace training needs to discuss scheduling.
