liability in refusing to give first aid assistance.

[Ribenapigeon]

If a manager was approached by an employee seeking assistance to give first aid to someone just outside the companies place of business and refused to do so when that manger has the appropriate training and access to particular specialised medical equipment is there hell to pay?

Added to this if the manager then, when others present advised him he should go and help attempted to turn the blame on the worker who sought assistance what further fan/faeces issues could there be?

If other management including the manager in questions knew about the incident and did nothing then would anyone else raising the issue then find themselves in a whistle-blowing situation?

Ive looked up some HR and H+S stuff on the web and theres a few things about designated first aiders refusing to assist but nothing about someone whos not necessarily designated as being a first aider but who still has responsibility.

I assume the manager holds a First Aid at Work certificate?

As the title suggests, its to render emergency aid in the workplace. If someone happens to get injured off premises, there's no obligation to offer assistance.

The FAW training is a very limited skill set. All scenarios usually end with send to hospital/call an ambulance.

Why did they refuse to give first aid?

[Freddyfruitba...]

Is the patient aware what happened?

Do you know if the outcome of the incident was likely worse than if first aid had been given?

Clearly this guy is a shit of the highest order, but TBH I suspect there's no legal comeback on him from anywhere

Possibly relevant?

Liability for not = NIL

Liability for giving and fucking up = MASSIVE.

Bet company would wash their hands in the latter case.

In any case. A lot of the training is call 999 and do as little as possible.

He's in the clear. He has no professional or legal responsibility for matters outside the workplace.

However, the employer may have been liable in the event of an adverse outcome if he had acted.

Don't see the problem unless youre plotting some sort of complaint for trauma caused by a dying passerby

This case springs to mind but the only real way to know would be if he ended up in court.

Don't forget the Danger in DRABC. If the manager is out of the workplace, they would be putting themselves in potentially more danger. Junkies who gets pumped with Naloxone (or whatever brand you want to use) wont be best pleased.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
