As an approved state OSHA plan, Utah's UOSH applies R614-3-9 (aligned with 29 CFR 1910.151): no fixed numeric ratio, but where medical help is not in near proximity a person holding a valid first-aid certificate must be available at the worksite. It is a performance-based standard tied to the workplace's foreseeable hazards.

Utah Administrative Code R381-100-7, administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Licensing, requires at least one staff member with current pediatric first aid and CPR certification present whenever a child is in care. Each caregiver completes at least 20 hours of training per year, and the CPR certification must include hands-on testing.

Utah Code § 78B-4-501 (Good Samaritan Act) protects anyone who gratuitously and in good faith renders emergency care at or near the scene of an emergency, with no civil liability or penalties except for gross negligence. There is no legal duty to rescue, and the immunity extends to use of an AED.

Registered and licensed practical nurses in Utah renew through the Utah State Board of Nursing under the Nurse Practice Act, meeting a mandatory standard of 30 contact hours per 2-year cycle, or 400 practice hours, or 200 practice hours plus 15 contact hours, together with suicide-prevention training. Basic life support is generally an employer requirement, though an accredited resuscitation course can count toward the contact hours.

In Utah, first aid and CPR are required as part of the nurse aide training program (UNAR/NATCEP), and only certified nurse aides may work in assisted living, home health and long-term care. Facility standards sit in Utah Admin. Code R432, and a recognized, up-to-date certificate meets the requirement in addition to occupational training.

Utah Admin. Rule R501-12 requires the agency to verify completion of CPR/first-aid training before issuing an initial or renewal certification and before a foster child is placed. It is overseen by the Division of Child and Family Services (DCFS) with the Office of Licensing, and updated training is required when the previous certification is more than two years old.

Yes, online CPR and first aid training is recognized in Utah, with no ban on online training for workplace first-aiders. Online theory is accepted while Utah requires the hands-on portion for CPR certification, and the certification is valid for 3 years.
