Attention Hospitality Management:
Interestingly, CPR/AED/First Aid Training is not yet required for those working in the Hospitality Industry in Texas. But that seems kind of odd, since those locales are frequented by large, diverse groups of people every day. And wherever there are such transient groups, there is the potential need for emergency health intervention.

Why CPR and First Aid Training are Important in the Hospitality Industry:
Most businesses provide workplace safety training to their employees, but CPR is often overlooked. CPR-training is an essential component in creating a safe and trusted environment, especially in industries which host large groups of customers. When guests spend time at resorts, hotels, theme parks, and other businesses in the hospitality industry, they expect to feel comfortable and relaxed throughout their visit. Some of the most important reasons why CPR-training is crucial in hospitality are as follows:
OSHA Regulations: The Occupational Safety and Health Standards Board (OSHA) advises businesses to always have at least one CPR-certified and first aid-trained employee at all times, although it is not required. However, some positions in the industry, such as life guarding, do require CPR training.
A Safe Environment: While many employers do their best to keep facilities safe for their guests and staff members, there is always the potential for accidents or medical emergencies. Having most or all of your employees trained in basic life-saving skills can protect customers and staff.
Customer Satisfaction: When a hotel, resort or dining establishment assures that guests are being taken care of with top-notch customer service that includes CPR training, both employees and guests can feel at ease. First aid and CPR skills save lives, so knowing that a hospitality business is staffed with employees who are CPR-trained can make the customer experience safer and more enjoyable.
