First Aid Compliance for Your Workplace
Emergencies and injuries can strike at any time—are your employees prepared to respond?
Whether it’s a minor accident or a life-threatening event, ensuring your workplace is first aid compliant isn’t just good practice—it’s the law. Federal and California regulations require all employers to maintain proper first aid supplies and provide adequate training to employees.

What Does First Aid Compliance Require?

- Title 8, Section 3400 – Applies to general industries and office environments.
Regardless of which applies, the law mandates readiness through:
- Adequate and accessible first aid supplies
- Emergency medical response planning
On-site personnel trained in first aid (unless in close proximity to a clinic or infirmary)
