ASTM F 2171 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Defining the Performance of First Aid Providers in Occupational Settings
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 10, 2002
Scope:
This guide covers the minimum requirements needed to train a student
to assess and manage illness
and injury prior to: (1) notification, arrival, or treatment by
traditional EMS agencies, or
combination thereof, or (2) management of a minor emergency medical
incident instead of an EMS
response.
This guide also recommends minimum instructor qualifications, program
logistics, and medical
oversight considerations.
This guide does not delineate a new level of formalized education for
prehospital medical
provision. This guide does not replace or decrease the need for
appropriate agencies to seek state
or national licensure or certification as an First Responder or
Emergency Medical Technician
(Basic, Intermediate, or Paramedic).
Content and skills appropriate to the first aid provider's scope of
care and specific to the
hazards or risks of particular industries and occupations may be added
by program developers,
instructors, and employers. These changes should be consistent with
the intent and design of this
guide.
