Utah Workplace Safety & AED Compliance

Your quick guide to AED, workplace safety, and emergency preparedness laws in Utah.

AED programs must include AED placement reporting and AED registration, but no other administrative or operational requirements. Good Samaritan protections apply broadly to all AED participants, and immunity is not dependent on AED program compliance. Utah requires AEDs in trampoline parks. The most recent update to Utah’s AED laws occurred in 2022, when the state strengthened AED reporting requirements and expanded AED mandates for trampoline parks.

- Place AEDs in visible, central locations.
AED Acquirers:
- Notify EMS of AED location and type.
- Encourage CPR/AED training for anticipated responders.
