This curriculum is equivalent and follows the same guidelines taught by American Red Cross, American Heart Association, Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, National Safety Council. This training is certifiable with or without hands-on demonstration. American Health Association training adheres to OSHA regulation 1910.1030(g)(2).

Additional notes in regard to acceptance and equivalency: Naming any single organization in statute or regulation often has the unintended consequence of discouraging enterprising approaches to first aid and CPR training and reducing the number of qualified firstaid and CPR training programs available to serve the public. This practice also places government in the position of sanctioning particular programs thus discouraging or eliminating competition. Governments acting in this capacity are put at risk without any

supporting public policy rationale. The American Health Association is committed to delivering exemplary First Aid and CPR training. Furthermore, the organization promotes a standardized instructional system designed in concert with professionals. The program development process draws upon the talent and experience of recognized experts in the field, outside consultants,

and diligent medical research. To ensure that program content and medical treatment guidelines used in American Health Association programs are safe, effective and helpful, the American Health Association relies on the following body of medical knowledge: American Health Association’s CPR and Emergency Cardiac Care training adheres to guidelines established by the Emergency Cardiac Care Committee and Sub-Committees, American Heart Association.
