How Often Do You Need to Renew CPR/First Aid?

Use the free tool — Certification Expiry

What This Guide Covers

You want to know how often a CPR/First Aid card needs to be renewed. This page explains what the Certification Expiry tool can tell you about that — and what it can't, based on the material it works from.

What the Tool Does With CPR/First Aid Dates

You paste your crew's names and the CPR/First Aid dates you have, along with any other cards — OSHA 10/30, forklift, CDL medical card, TWIC, EPA 608, rigging, aerial lift. The tool sorts everyone into who is expiring in 30, 60, or 90 days. It also lists a typical renewal length and cost, flags which cards never expire, and gives you a printable reminder sheet for the wall.

What We Don't Know Yet

The material behind this tool doesn't spell out one fixed CPR/First Aid renewal period. Instead, the tool "applies typical federal rules and common provider validity periods" to the dates you type in. That means the exact renewal length can depend on which provider issued the card, and your state, client, union, or insurer may require more than the typical period.

We also don't know whether the tool stores what you paste — its own material doesn't say either way.

How It Works

  1. Paste the crew. Names, cards, dates you have. Unknowns are flagged, not ignored.
  2. See who lapses when. 30/60/90-day buckets, what each renewal takes (hours, typical cost, where), which cards never expire, and what's actually required for your trade.
  3. Print the wall sheet. A one-page reminder grid for the shop wall, and the list of unknown dates to chase this week.

A Caution Before You Rely on This

This tool is informational, based on public OSHA, DOT/FMCSA, EPA, and training-provider rules. It cannot verify an actual card. It is not affiliated with OSHA or any agency. Confirm the real renewal date and requirements with the provider that issued the CPR/First Aid card — and check with your state, employer, client contract, or union agreement, since they can require more than the typical period. This is not legal, medical, or tax advice.

What to Do Next

The free tool reads your own crew roster and the dates you already have. Paste them in, and it will sort who's expiring in 30, 60, or 90 days, note typical renewal length and cost, flag which cards never expire, and give you a printable reminder sheet — in English or Spanish.
