What MNOSHA Requires in Minnesota

Minnesota operates its own OSHA-approved state plan. Employers must meet both federal and MN-specific safety rules:

First Aid & Medical Services (29 CFR 1910.151)

Employers must ensure trained first-aid providers are available when medical help isn’t close by, maintain suitable supplies, and keep responder training documentation.

First Aid Supplies (ANSI/ISEA Z308.1)

Use Class A/B kits appropriate to your hazards, inspect them regularly, and document restocks per MNOSHA recommendations.

Bloodborne Pathogens (29 CFR 1910.1030)

If employees may render aid, maintain an Exposure Control Plan, PPE, training, hepatitis B vaccine offers, and post-exposure follow-up.

AED Program Readiness

AEDs are encouraged at larger or higher-risk worksites. Many MN employers deploy AEDs and train staff to reduce emergency response times.

This information reflects MNOSHA and federal OSHA rules as of 2025.

Quick FAQ

Is CPR training required by MNOSHA?

Yes — when immediate medical care isn’t available, employers must provide trained first-aid personnel. CPR certification fulfills that requirement.

Are AEDs required in Minnesota workplaces?

Not universally — but strongly encouraged. Many MN schools and businesses install AEDs for safety and liability protection.

How long is certification valid?

AHA certifications are valid for two years. Bloodborne pathogens training is typically annual when exposure risks exist.
