March 4, 1991 Mr. Manfred F. Rotmann Research and Regulations Branch Ontario Ministry of Labour 400 University Avenue Toronto, Ontario M6A 1T7 Canada Dear Mr. Rotmann: Thank you for your inquiry of January 24, addressed to Rolland Stroup, Chief of the Division of Safety Abatement Assistance, requesting a copy of Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Instruction CPL 2-2.53, Guidelines for First Aid Training Programs, and any further suggestions we may have on the subject. The enclosed Guidelines for First Aid Training Programs can be used by OSHA compliance officers to evaluate the provided first aid training in the context of workplace inspections. Through these same guidelines a competent professional is able to develop adequate first aid training and tailor it to the specific needs of the workplace. Each of the major sections of the OSHA regulations, including general industry, construction and maritime standards, contains first aid requirements. However, all three sections are supported by OSHA Instruction CPL 2-2.53, Guidelines for First Aid Training Programs. The guidelines are based on job functions and types of injuries and/or illnesses anticipated. Some of our States have occupational safety and health State plans which set first aid training requirements. Each State plan is required to adopt the OSHA regulations or promulgate their own. Their regulations have to be at least as effective as OSHA regulations. If you would like additional information about some of the individual OSHA-approved State plans, please contact Ms. Barbara Bryant, Office of State Programs, some address as ours, telephone (202) 523-7242. Thank you for your interest in occupational safety and health. If we may be of further assistance, please contact us. Sincerely, Patricia K. Clark, Director Directorate of Compliance Programs |
