I've never heard of this. What's the Act (or whatever) that gives those protections? I have a Red Cross first aid certification through my employer and it's only been something useful to have on a resume, there was no mention of legal protections, we are still treated just like any other bystander by the law. My understanding was that protections were only given to people like first responders and the rest was the good samaritan act.
Basically all major countries have Good Samaritan laws on the books. The only exception I am aware of is China, where people regularly get sued for rendering first aid.
Great question!
The Good Samaritan Act in specific is what I'm referring to. As I understand it, we're granted the same protections as first responders under it but must relinquish control once someone with more ability arrives. So long as we stick to what we were trained on, no legal action can be taken.
That's the key to it though. The General Public has no formal training, and therefore less protection.
