2 months ago, I released an article about the First Aid in the Workplace Regulations, 2023, highlighting how the new rules are straightforward, aligned with OSHA 2007, and an improvement in first aid box content and emergency response et al.

What Does OSHA Mean by "First Aid"? Understanding OSHA's definition of "first aid" is crucial for accurate recordkeeping and compliance. Here's what OSHA considers first aid: Using non-prescription medications  Cleaning and bandaging surface wounds  Applying hot or cold therapy  Using non-rigid supports  Removing splinters or foreign bodies  Using eye patches  Administering fluids for heat stress  Remember, anything beyond OSHA's specific list is considered medical treatment. Knowing this distinction helps maintain proper OSHA 300 logs and correctly classify workplace injuries.
