A: The term "near proximity" that is contained in the first aid standard, means the facility or jobsite must be 4 minutes away from a first responder or medical facility to
treat the injured employee. If the facility or jobsite isn’t within a 3-4 minute time frame of a
first responder, or drive time, than you are required to have an employee on-site
that is capable of performing first aid duties (must be certified).
If you need to have your employees trained in first aid/CPR/AED, please contact LSCI by clicking this link.
