First-aid and CPR training

The training must cover all topics listed in the appendix, including patient assessment and first aid for respiratory arrest, cardiac arrest, hemorrhage, lacerations, amputations, musculoskeletal injuries, shock, eye injuries, burns, loss of consciousness, extreme temperature exposure, paralysis, poisoning, loss of mental functioning, and drug overdose, plus CPR, application of dressings and slings, treatment of strains/sprains/fractures, immobilization, handling and transporting injured persons, and treatment of bites, stings, or contact with poisonous plants or animals. See 1910.266AppB for the full list of minimum subjects.

The appendix requires conventional methods such as lecture, demonstration, practical exercise, and examination (both written and practical) so trainees both understand concepts and can demonstrate procedures. See 1910.266(AppendixB) which describes acceptable training methods.

No — the appendix does not set a fixed number of hours; it requires the length of training to be "sufficient to assure that trainees understand the concepts of first aid and can demonstrate their ability to perform the various procedures" in the outline. Employers must ensure training time is adequate to achieve competence. See 1910.266AppB.

Yes — the appendix explicitly states training shall include examination both written and practical to verify understanding and skills. Employers must use both types of assessment as part of the minimum acceptable program. See 1910.266(AppendixB).

Yes — CPR is listed as a required element of the minimum first-aid and CPR training program. Employers must include CPR instruction as described in the appendix. See 1910.266AppB.

Yes — amputation care is explicitly listed among the patient assessment and first-aid topics that must be taught in the training program. Employers must ensure trainees can manage amputations as described in the appendix. See 1910.266(AppendixB).

Yes — handling and transporting injured persons is one of the required training topics, and the program must ensure trainees can demonstrate the proper methods. See 1910.266AppB.

Yes — treatment of shock is specifically included in the minimum first-aid topics that must be covered and demonstrated during training. See 1910.266(AppendixB).

Yes — artificial ventilation is listed under the patient assessment and first-aid topics (notably within items addressing respiratory arrest, loss of consciousness, and related care), so training must include artificial ventilation techniques. See 1910.266AppB.

Yes — both poisoning and drug overdose are explicitly listed among the patient assessment and first-aid topics that must be taught. Employers must include these topics in the training curriculum. See 1910.266(AppendixB).

Yes — application of dressings and slings is a required element of the training program and trainees must be able to demonstrate these skills. See 1910.266AppB.

Yes — eye injuries are specifically named in the appendix and must be covered so trainees can assess and provide appropriate first aid for eye trauma. See 1910.266(AppendixB).

They must demonstrate the ability to perform the procedures; the appendix requires practical exercise and practical examination so trainees can show they can carry out the listed first-aid and CPR techniques, not just pass a lecture. See 1910.266AppB.

Yes — the appendix lists legal issues of applying first aid (Good Samaritan Laws) as a required topic, so training must cover the legal aspects of providing first aid in the logging environment. See 1910.266(AppendixB).

Yes — extreme temperature exposure (hypothermia/hyperthermia) is explicitly included among the required patient assessment and treatment topics and must be taught and demonstrated. See 1910.266AppB.

Training must include assessment and first-aid for loss of consciousness and paralysis, ensuring trainees can recognize signs, protect the airway, and provide appropriate emergency care and stabilization. The appendix lists these topics as required elements. See 1910.266(AppendixB).

Yes — the appendix specifically includes treatment of bites, stings, or contact with poisonous plants or animals among the required first-aid topics for logging employees. See 1910.266AppB.

The appendix defines the minimum acceptable program for employees engaged in logging activities, so employers must ensure logging employees who may need to provide first aid in the workplace receive the required training. See 1910.266AppB and the broader logging standard at 1910.266 for employer obligations in logging operations.

Yes — while the appendix lists minimum topics, it requires training methods and content sufficient for trainees to demonstrate skills relevant to logging activities, so employers should tailor scenarios and practical exercises to logging hazards to meet the "sufficient to assure" competency requirement. See 1910.266AppB and the logging standard at 1910.266.

The appendix itself does not prescribe specific recordkeeping formats or retention periods; it requires that training be sufficient and include written and practical exams, but it does not mandate particular training records. Employers should retain evidence of training (such as test results or attendance) to demonstrate compliance with the training requirements in 1910.266AppB and the broader logging standard at 1910.266.
