Your legal requirements in Alaska
What the law actually requires where you are — summarized from our jurisdiction guides. Open any topic for the full details.
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.
Under Alaska Administrative Code 7 AAC 57.350, overseen by the Department of Health's Child Care Program Office, every caregiver in a licensed facility must hold valid pediatric first aid and pediatric CPR certification, not just one designated person.
Alaska Stat. § 09.65.090 grants immunity to anyone who in good faith renders emergency care to a person who reasonably appears to need immediate aid, with protection lost only for gross negligence or reckless/intentional misconduct; a separate statute covers AED use.
The Alaska Board of Nursing frames licence renewal around continued competency, requiring two of three options every two years including a 30-contact-hour option; basic CPR/BLS is not accepted toward those hours, but an ACLS renewal through a recognized provider can count.
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.
In Alaska, a licensed foster (resource) family completes first-aid and CPR training from a recognized organization as a standard part of an Individualized Training Plan developed with the licensing worker, to be completed within the licensing year.
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.
