Online Training Certification Course
OSHA 29 CFR 1910,1926 & MSHA 30 CFR 56,57,75,77
From the highest rated and most trusted online training company - since 2008.
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.
This course is for:
Employers, managers, supervisors, and employees all benefit from taking OSHA and MSHA first aid training online. Knowing how to respond to injuries helps everyone work more safely.
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.

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.
