“Good Samaritans show kindness to others and their good acts should be encouraged, rather than discouraged.” – Assembly Member Mike Feuer, co-author of AB 83 (revises Good Samaritan Law)
Many of us have heard of the Good Samaritan Law which protects individuals from lawsuits while voluntarily helping others in peril. With the passing of Assembly Bill 83, Samaritans and medical personnel alike are now covered for giving medical care AND providing related assistance – such as rescuing the person from a hazardous environment.
Cal-OSHA Title 8 section 3400 states: “In the absence of an infirmary, clinic, or hospital in near proximity to the workplace, which is used for the treatment of all injured employees, a person or persons shall be adequately trained to render first aid.” The Good Samaritan law now covers those who attempt to provide medical assistance to help others in a workplace emergency, without fear of liability or reprisal.
