If you operate or work in a Georgia Child Care Learning Center, staying in compliance with state-mandated safety training isn’t optional—it’s essential.

• Center Directors: Required to complete CPR training every 2 years and First Aid training every 3 years
• Caregiver Staff: At least 50% of staff on duty at any time must hold current certifications
• Transportation Providers: Staff responsible for transporting children must also be certified

​If you operate a behavioral health facility in Georgia, there’s one thing that’s non-negotiable--compliance with the Department of Community Health (DCH). According to state regulations, all patient care staff must be certified in CPR, First Aid, AED use, and oral suctioning. That’s where Attentive Safety comes in.
Our Adult & Pediatric CPR AED with First Aid course is designed to help your facility stay fully compliant while empowering your team with the real-world skills to respond effectively in emergencies.

🛑 What Georgia DCH Requires:"All patient care staff must have an up-to-date first-aid certificate and certification in basic cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The facility must maintain suction equipment and an automatic external defibrillator (AED). All patient care staff must have training in the use of oral suction and the use of an AED."
Failure to meet this standard could lead to inspection violations or worse—unprepared staff during a life-threatening event.

​If you operate a maternity home in Georgia, staying compliant with the Georgia Department of Human Services (DHS) is not just good practice—it’s the law. DHS regulations require that all direct care staff complete biennial training in adult, child, and infant CPR, as well as First Aid, within the first 90 days of employment.
At Attentive Safety CPR and Safety Training, we help maternity homes across Georgia meet and exceed these requirements with certified, instructor-led CPR AED training that’s trusted, flexible, and fully compliant with DHS standards.

✅ What the DHS Regulation SaysAccording to DHS guidelines for maternity homes:
“Any direct care staff shall be at least 21 years of age and possess a high school diploma or general education diploma (GED) and have current evidence of certification of a biennial training program in adult, child, and infant cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and a biennial training program in first aid which have been offered by certified or licensed health care professionals. Such training programs shall be completed within the first 90 days of employment.”
This means every new hire must have proof of CPR and First Aid certification from a recognized provider like Attentive Safety within their first 3 months on the job.
