Rule 132.
(1) An
					 employer shall ensure the availability of medical personnel for advice and
					 consultation on matters of occupational health.
(2) Before beginning a project, provision
					 must be made for prompt medical attention in case of serious injury.
(3) A person who has a valid certificate in
					 first aid training shall be present at the worksite to render first aid. A
					 certificate is valid if the requirements necessary to obtain the certificate
					 for first aid training meet or exceed the requirements of the United States
					 Bureau of Mines, the American Red Cross, the guidelines for basic first aid
					 training programs, or equivalent training.
(4) Where a remote location or a single
					 employee worksite exists, an employer shall provide a written plan that
					 includes alternate methods of assuring available treatment for employees at a
					 remote location or single-employee worksite. The plan must be communicated to
					 all affected employees.
(5) An
					 employer must assure that there are first aid supplies at each jobsite and that
					 the supplies are readily accessible.
(6) The contents of a first aid kit shall be
					 sealed in individual packages, stored in a weatherproof container, and checked
					 by an employer or designated person before being sent out on each job and at
					 least weekly on each job to ensure that expended items are replaced.
(7) An employer shall provide proper
					 equipment for the prompt transportation of an injured person to a physician or
					 hospital and a communication system for contacting the necessary emergency
					 service. In areas where 911 is not available, the telephone numbers of a
					 physician, hospital, or emergency service shall be conspicuously posted at the
					 jobsite. In areas where 911 emergency dispatch services are not available, the
					 telephone numbers of the physicians, hospitals, or ambulances shall be
					 conspicuously posted.
(8) In areas
					 where 911 emergency dispatch services are available and an employer uses a
					 communication system for contacting necessary emergency-medical service, the
					 employer must do both of the following:
(a)
					 Ensure that the communication system is effective in contacting the emergency
					 medical service.
(b) When using a
					 communication system in an area that does not automatically supply the caller's
					 latitude and longitude information to the 911 emergency dispatcher, the
					 employer must post in a conspicuous location at the worksite either of the
					 following:
(i) The latitude and longitude of
					 the worksite.
(ii) Other
					 location-identification information that communicates effectively to employees
					 the location of the worksite.
(c) The requirement specified in subdivision
					 (b) of this subrule does not apply to worksites with a readily available
					 telephone that has 911 emergency service that automatically identifies the
					 location of the caller.
