CFR 152 - Medical Services and First Aid

On June 18, 1998, federal OSHA promulgated a final rule that corrected or eliminated provisions from various standards (63 FR 33449-33469). These changes were made to correct out of date, duplicative, unnecessary, or inconsistent standards. One of the changes concerns medical services and first aid (Ref: 29 CFR 1910.151). Paragraph (b) is amended by removing the requirement for the approval of first aid supplies by a consulting physician. In addition, a non-mandatory appendix A on first aid kits is added. The June 18, 1998, corrections and revisions (63 FR 33449-33469) were adopted verbatim with an effective date of October 8, 1998.

Also reference CFR 103 - Access to Employee Exposure and Medical Records. Additional information and resources can be found on the safety and health topic page for Medical Services and First Aid. To determine if this rule applies, go to Does "Subpart K - Medical and First Aid" Apply to You?.
