Worker safety requirement to provide access to automatic defibrillators and trained operators establishment provision

SF 2804 requires employers at large warehouse distribution centers (with 250+ employees at one site or 1,000+ across multiple sites in Minnesota) to provide reasonable access to automatic defibrillators (AEDs) and ensure trained personnel can respond within 2.5 minutes for cardiac emergencies. Employers must document AED training for staff, meeting federal guidelines and manufacturer instructions, and maintain records of this training. The law applies to warehouses under specific industry codes (e.g., general warehousing, shipping services) and takes effect January 1, 2026. It directly affects warehouse employers and their workers in covered facilities.
