Workplace first aid requirements
First Aid & CPR Montana
If you operate a business or work in Montana, you should know the first aid and CPR training obligations that apply to your workplace. Compliance isn't just about meeting regulations — properly trained employees save lives, reduce workplace injuries, and protect employers from liability.
What the law requires in Montana
In Montana, workplace safety is governed by Montana Safety Culture Act. The specific first aid requirements are set out in Adopts federal OSHA standards, administered by Montana State Plan (Dept of Labor and Industry).
Montana operates its own occupational safety and health program covering both private and public sector workers.
Training requirements
The required training levels in Montana are: first aid (8 hours), cpr (4 hours). Certifications are valid for 2 years and must be renewed before expiry to remain compliant.
Our online CPR and first aid courses are designed to meet or exceed these training standards. Our curriculum follows the latest ILCOR 2025 guidelines — the same international evidence base that informs OSHA and state requirements.
Why it matters
A workplace emergency can happen at any time. When it does, the difference between a positive outcome and a tragedy often comes down to whether someone nearby is trained to respond. Having certified first aiders on staff isn't just a legal requirement — it's an investment in your team's safety.
