Workplace First Aid Program
Written first aid program covering OSHA 1910.151, ANSI Z308.1 kit content, designated responder training, and response procedure for injuries and illnesses.
When this template is required
29 CFR 1910.151 requires medical and first aid services readily available — either trained personnel onsite or medical 'in near proximity.' Workplaces without nearby medical facilities require trained first aid personnel and ANSI-compliant first aid kits.
Why this template
Medical proximity analysis
1910.151(b) requires medical 'in near proximity.' Case law suggests 3-4 minute response time. Analysis documents whether your location qualifies — and if not, what's required onsite.
ANSI Z308.1 kit content
Z308.1 defines workplace kit content. Class A (low-risk) and Class B (industrial/higher-risk). Inventory ensures kit meets ANSI requirements.
BBP integration
First aid response often involves blood exposure. Designated responders need BBP training, PPE, and exposure incident response.
EAP + AED coordination
First aid is one element of medical emergency response — coordinated with EAP (evacuation, 911) and AED (cardiac arrest).

Frequently asked
What's 'medical in near proximity'?
1910.151(b) requires medical services readily available. Case law establishes roughly 3-4 minute response time as 'near proximity.' If your nearest medical facility (and ambulance response) exceeds that, you need onsite first aid capability.
How many responders do we need?
OSHA doesn't specify a ratio. Practical guidance: at least one trained responder per shift in workplaces without 'near proximity' medical. Larger workplaces benefit from multiple per shift for coverage.
What's in an ANSI Z308.1 kit?
Class A (low-hazard): smaller kit for minor injuries — bandages, gauze, antiseptic. Class B (industrial): larger kit with tourniquets, cervical collars, more comprehensive supplies. Z308.1-2021 is the current version.
Does first aid responder need BBP training?
If first aid is part of the responder's job duties, yes — BBP applies because blood exposure is reasonably anticipated. The program integrates first aid responders into the BBP framework.
