Automatic external defibrillators; AED worker safety requirements to establish access provided.

HF 1856 requires employers at large warehouse distribution centers (with 250+ employees at one site or 1,000+ across sites) to provide reasonable access to automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) for cardiac emergencies. It mandates that every employee must be reachable within 2.5 minutes by a person certified to use an AED, meeting specific training standards (including CFR guidelines and manufacturer instructions). Employers must document this training with written records containing the employee's name, training dates, and trainer/employer signature. The bill directly affects warehouse workers at covered facilities, not all employees, and takes effect January 1, 2026.
