Why Compliance Planning Matters
Emergency preparedness requirements are designed to protect lives. However, without clear planning, schools may struggle to track training, equipment, and inspections.
A compliance checklist helps administrators ensure nothing is overlooked.
CPR and AED Instruction Requirements
Administrators should confirm
• CPR and AED instruction is provided before student graduation
• Instruction content aligns with current guidelines
• Course completion is documented
Schools should also evaluate AED placement and readiness.
Bleeding Control Equipment and Training Requirements
RCW 28A.210.440 requires administrators to ensure
• Bleeding control kits are accessible
• Required supplies are present and unexpired
• A sufficient number of staff are trained
• Annual and post use inspections are completed
Documentation and Inspection Responsibilities
Documentation supports accountability and readiness.
Administrators should maintain
• Training records for staff and students
• Inspection logs for AEDs and bleeding control kits
• Replacement schedules for expiring equipment
Common Compliance Gaps to Avoid
Common issues include
• Equipment installed but not inspected
• Staff turnover reducing trained personnel numbers
• Training conducted without documentation
• Supplies expiring unnoticed
Regular reviews prevent these gaps.
