OSHA Recordkeeping: 03. First Aid

When a work incident requires first aid, it is important to understand if you are required to report it to OSHA, which is the topic for the elearning course First Aid. In this course we will review OSHA’s definition of first aid from a recordkeeping perspective and provide guidance on when an incident must be reported. We will review the extensive list of incidents that fall under OSHA’s definition of first aid and discuss the line between it and medical treatment. Finally, we will look at some concrete examples of the differences between first aid and medical treatment incidents to give you a thorough understanding of OSHA requirements.

Part of the series, OSHA Recordkeeping, this course includes a video lesson, downloadable student materials and a short online quiz to check your comprehension of the course.
