West Virginia

West Virginia enforces comprehensive standards for CPR programs, emphasizing proper equipment maintenance, staff training, medical supervision, incident reporting, coordination with emergency responders, and official program registration. The state’s Good Samaritan law offers limited liability protection for using AEDs, as long as specific requirements are met. CPR devices are needed to boost emergency preparedness. They should be present at school sports events and in high-risk jobs, such as coal mines and quarries.
