BCEP Training Standards

Regulatory
Compliance

The Board of Certified Emergency Providers (BCEP) is committed to providing emergency preparedness, first aid, CPR, AED, and emergency response training programs designed to meet applicable federal workplace training requirements while emphasizing hands-on competency, practical application, and real-world preparedness.

Program Design

Evidence-Based. Compliance-Focused.

BCEP programs are developed using current evidence-based practices and are structured to support employers, organizations, and individuals seeking high-quality emergency response training for workplace and community environments.

Our training is designed to align with applicable Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) training requirements related to first aid, emergency response, and workplace preparedness.

Federal Standards

Federal OSHA Regulatory Compliance

29 CFR 1910.151

General Industry Standard

OSHA requires employers to ensure that adequately trained personnel are available to render first aid when medical facilities are not in near proximity to the workplace.

BCEP First Aid, CPR, and AED training programs are designed to support employers in meeting this requirement through comprehensive instruction and hands-on skills evaluation.

29 CFR 1926.50

Construction Industry Standard

OSHA requires that personnel with valid first aid training be available at construction projects where immediate medical care is not readily accessible.

BCEP emergency response training programs are designed to support compliance with these requirements while addressing the unique hazards found in construction and industrial environments.

Skills Verification

Hands-On Skills Verification

BCEP believes emergency response skills must be demonstrated, not simply reviewed. Training programs incorporate practical skill evaluation and instructor observation to verify competency in life-saving techniques.

  • CPR
  • AED Operation
  • Choking Response
  • Bleeding Control
  • Opioid Overdose Response
  • Workplace Emergency Procedures

OSHA Position on Training Providers

OSHA does not approve, endorse, certify, or recognize specific commercial training organizations. Instead, OSHA evaluates training programs based upon:

  • Curriculum Content
  • Instructor Competency
  • Training Effectiveness
  • Hands-On Skills Verification

BCEP is committed to maintaining training programs that meet these performance-based expectations.

Industry Focus

Continuous Improvement

BCEP regularly reviews and updates its training programs to reflect changes in regulations, industry best practices, and evidence-based emergency response guidelines.

Evidence-Based Practice

All BCEP programs are developed using current evidence-based practices to ensure training reflects the most effective life-saving techniques available.

Our goal is to provide practical, professional, and effective emergency preparedness training that supports workplace safety, regulatory compliance, and community readiness.
