This guide is intended for use by first aid program developers, institutions teaching first aid courses, regulatory agency personnel who review and/or approve first aid courses and the consumers of these courses. This second edition of the NGFATOS has been revised by the project co-investigators to address several key elements that are designed to increase its defensibility and usefulness. These additions are based on sound and practical recommendations for designing guidelines and include information on the background, methodology, evidence, health and economic outcomes, instructions for tailoring NGFATOS, conflicts with other guidelines, and caveats1. Hyperlinks and updated references have added to the documents where possible to aid the reader's search for additional and related data. ASTM Standard F 2171-02, Standard Guideline Defining the Performance of First Aid Providers in Occupational Settings, published on April 4, 2002 by ASTM International is based upon and largely identical to NGFATOS
