First aider liability

* New Resource * Surveying the Legislations Regarding Liability of First Aid Providers around the World

Mar 10, 2021

The Global First Aid Reference Centre is happy to share with you the report: Surveying the Legislations Regarding Liability of First Aid Providers around the World (including recommendations). 

Laws and Regulations concerning the liability of the first aider have a large impact on how people react during an emergency. It is therefore important to ensure that there is an adequate framework so that first aid providers will not suffer any legal or financial consequences when choosing to provide assistance. The objective of this report is to present the results of the global survey that has been carried out thanks to the support of White & Case, and to highlight the best practices concerning the liability of first aiders, as well as point out legislations that require improvements, in order to help the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to focus their efforts and advocacy work.

 Many countries have been represented but do not hesitate to let us know if you would like to share more data with us.
