South Carolina's state plan (SC OSHA) adopts federal standard 29 CFR 1910.151(b) identically: there is no numeric first-aider-to-employee ratio, but where no infirmary, clinic or hospital is in near proximity, the employer must ensure adequately trained persons and adequate supplies are readily available. A trained responder or EMS is expected to reach a victim within 3-4 minutes for high-hazard work and within about 15 minutes elsewhere.

South Carolina child care licensing, enforced by the Department of Social Services under Regulation R.114-503(g), requires at least one person certified in pediatric first aid — covering rescue breathing, CPR and clearing a blocked airway — to be present at all times children are in care, including outings and field trips. Training must be delivered by a trainer certified through a recognized health care organization, and online courses are accepted.

South Carolina's Good Samaritan law (S.C. Code Ann. § 15-1-310) protects any person who in good faith gratuitously renders emergency care at the scene of an accident or emergency from civil liability, except for gross negligence or willful or wanton misconduct. There is no legal duty to rescue, and AED users receive separate immunity under § 44-76-40.

Registered and licensed practical nurses in South Carolina renew through the South Carolina Board of Nursing, which requires 30 contact hours per 2-year cycle for RNs and LPNs (45 for APRNs) to meet a continuing-competency standard, with alternative pathways through national certification or documented practice. Basic life support is generally an employer or hospital requirement rather than a licence condition, though an accredited resuscitation course can help meet the standard.

South Carolina residential settings — assisted living, community residential care facilities, nursing homes and home health agencies — expect front-line care staff to hold current CPR and first-aid training, with nurse aide standards administered through the SC Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) Long-Term Living program. Entering the state-approved 100-hour nurse aide training program requires a current CPR and first-aid certification at the healthcare-provider level.

In South Carolina, the Department of Social Services (DSS) requires every foster parent to complete CPR and first-aid training before final approval and to keep those certifications current while fostering. The certificate is recognized by DSS as a condition of licensure, obtained from a recognized provider, and must be renewed over each two-year renewal period.

Online CPR and first aid training is recognized in South Carolina for personal, childcare licensing and employer purposes, with 3-year certification validity. OSHA does not prohibit online training but its interpretation letters favor a hands-on skills evaluation, so blended formats (online theory plus a practical component) are recommended.
