    In accordance with the standards listed, many industries require that employees are trained in first aid. Additionally, under the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are required to provide a workplace that “is free from recognizable hazards that are causing or likely to cause death or serious harm to employees.”

    Under these regulations, Employers have a legal and ethical obligation to teach employees about first aid procedures. In an agricultural setting, medical personnel may have difficulty responding to incidents. By training employees in first aid, the agricultural workplace becomes a safer one.
