What the law actually requires where you are — summarized from our jurisdiction guides. Open any topic for the full details.

Workplace first aid

West Virginia has no state OSHA plan, so employers fall under the federal rule (29 CFR 1910.151(b)): there is no fixed ratio, but where no medical facility is in near proximity at least one person must be adequately trained in first aid and reachable within minutes.

Healthcare professional recognition

Registered nurses in West Virginia renew through the West Virginia Board of Registered Nurses, which requires 12 continuing-education contact hours per 2-year cycle from a Board-approved provider (verified via CE Broker); basic life support is generally an employer or hospital requirement, though an accredited resuscitation course can count toward the contact hours.

Residential care settings

In West Virginia residential settings — assisted living residences, nursing homes and home-care services — certified nurse aides receive CPR as part of the state-approved 120-hour nurse aide program and long-term-care employers require it; a recognized, up-to-date CPR and first-aid certificate meets this expectation and is renewed periodically.
