 It is a requirement of OSHA (www.osha.gov) that employees be given a safe and healthy workplace that is reasonably free of occupational hazards. However, it is unrealistic to expect accidents not to happen. Therefore, employers are required to provide medical and first aid personnel and supplies commensurate with the hazards of the workplace.

The details of a workplace medical and first aid program are dependent on the circumstances of each workplace and employer. An Occupational Health Professional should be contacted for information.

OSHA Standard Number: 1910.151

  • Standard Title: Medical services and first aid.
  • SubPart Number: K
  • SubPart Title: Medical and First Aid

The employer shall ensure the ready availability of medical personnel for advice and consultation on matters of plant health.

(c)
Where the eyes or body of any person may be exposed to injurious corrosive materials, suitable facilities for quick drenching or flushing of the eyes and body shall be provided within the work area for immediate emergency use.
