                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

SEIZURE FIRST AID POSTERS (§ 40.1-11.4)

The Department shall provide all employers and employees in the Commonwealth
with in-color informational posters, at least 8.5 inches by 11 inches in size,
with respect to rendering seizure first aid. The information shall be
disseminated by means determined by the Department, including electronically,
and the information approved by the Department shall be fully consistent with
information and guidelines developed by the Epilepsy Foundation of America and
any such successor organization. Each employer of 25 or more employees in the
Commonwealth shall physically post information on seizure first aid provided by
the Department in a prominent position in the employer&#8217;s workplace that is
visible to employees. For the purposes of this section, &#8220;seizure first
aid&#8221; means procedures to respond, attend, and provide comfort and safety
to an individual suffering from a seizure. &#8220;Seizure first aid&#8221; does
not include training to medically treat an individual suffering from a seizure.
Nothing in this section shall be construed to supersede any other provision of
law, including the exemption from liability for a person rendering emergency
care in good faith without compensation pursuant to the provisions of §
8.01-225.
