Paramedic Chance Jackson asked:


Does it protect people who know first aid but never took the course to get the certificate or whatever? and like isnt a paramedic or doctor or anything?

I work in Loss Prevention at a local mall. One of the other stores had an incident where cpr and first aid had to be rendered to a customer. The customer passed away. After our store learned that we assisted another store with the incident, they in turn wrote a policy that we are not allowed to leave property to assist another store. We are no longer allowed to render cpr and first aid help to other stores. Can a company do this?
