OSHA answers the question: Frequency of refresher training for first aid and CPR?

OSHA cancelled CPL 2-2.53 in 2007. Your letter cites OSHA’s current guidelines for CPR training contained in OSHA 3317-06N 2006, Best Practices Guide: Fundamentals of a Workplace First-Aid Program. Although OSHA does not mandate retraining intervals, this guidance, at p. 13, recommends that “Instructor-led retraining for life-threatening emergencies[,]” specifically CPR and AED, “should occur at least annually.”  OSHA has also published Letters of Interpretation (LOIs) for CPR training.
