First Aid & CPR Alaska

What the law actually requires where you are — summarized from our jurisdiction guides. Open any topic for the full details.

Workplace first aid

Alaska enforces federal OSHA through AKOSH: 8 AAC 61 adopts 29 CFR 1910.151(b), which sets no fixed ratio but requires adequately trained first-aiders on staff, reachable within a 3-to-4-minute response in high-hazard settings (up to 15 minutes in low-hazard ones), a duty made especially decisive by many worksites' remoteness.

Residential care settings

Under 7 AAC 75, an Alaska assisted living home must always have a care provider on duty trained in CPR and first aid, with initial staff training covering CPR and basic first aid so the on-duty caregiver can intervene until emergency services arrive.

Online course recognition

Yes — online CPR and first aid training is recognized in Alaska for workplace, childcare licensing and personal certification, with no explicit ban; OSHA recommends a hands-on skills-demonstration component, and distance learning is especially relevant to Alaska's remote worksites.
