What OSHA/TOSHA Requires in Tennessee

Tennessee enforces its OSHA-approved state plan. Employers should address:

First Aid & Medical Services (29 CFR 1910.151)

Ensure trained first-aid providers are available when medical help isn’t close by. Maintain suitable supplies and document responder training.

First Aid Supplies (ANSI/ISEA Z308.1)

Select Class A/B kits appropriate to your hazards, place them strategically, and keep inspection/restock logs.

Bloodborne Pathogens (29 CFR 1910.1030)

If employees might render first aid, implement an Exposure Control Plan, provide PPE, training, hepatitis B vaccination offers, and post-exposure procedures.

AED Program Readiness

OSHA encourages AEDs for larger or higher-risk worksites. Many Tennessee employers adopt AED programs to improve response time and reduce liability.

Quick FAQ

Is CPR training required by OSHA/TOSHA?

Yes, when medical help isn’t reasonably accessible, employers must have trained first-aid providers—CPR certification is the accepted standard.

Do I need an AED at my business?

Not universally required, but highly recommended. Many Tennessee employers install AEDs for safety and risk mitigation.
