RE: [RC] First Aid Training should be added to our horse training? CA Regs - Jim Holland
That’s it! The next level is
EMT:
EMT Basic I
EMT Basic II
EMT Intermediate
then Paramedic…..each with a
different “level” of things they are “trained” to do….and
you don’t have to be wearing any special “gear” to be
required to perform your “duty”. Theoretically, if you were a
First Responder and you drove by an accident without offering assistance and
somebody knew that, you could be sued for negligence….failure under “Duty
to Act”. It’s a double edged sword.

ahhh now I understand
creams, ointments etc fall under the
heading of medications...we can't do that either unless directed.
You may however, Bandage, sling,splint,
take C spine precautions, flush with water, cool with ice etc. as these actions
fall under your scope of practice as a first responder. These actions
fall under the Duty to Act [ when properly trained ( which as a first responder
you are)]while wearing any gear that identifies you as official representative
of a public safety agency and you are in your jurisdiction.
