Emergency & Safety Consultants Inc. was founded by working Paramedics with over 30 years of ambulance, helicopter and military pre-hospital emergency medicine. Our computer based training is a practical, no-nonsense approach to Basic First Aid and CPR. The main objective of this training is to provide you with the information and training to help someone with an emergency before Paramedics arrive.
The Good Samaritan Law was adopted to protect individuals who assist anyone who is ill or injured without fear of legal prosecution. It was designed to encourage everyone to help someone in the event of an emergency.
Good Samaritan Principles
• You must identify yourself and obtain permission to help someone who is injured.
• By law, if a patient is unresponsive, you can provide first aid – this is implied consent.
• You must provide care within your level of training, and continue until the arrival of Emergency Medical personnel.
• Consent must be given by parent or guardian if the victim is under 18 years of age.
