I'm currently working for my university for security and evening patrols for any emergencies that arise. I have a few legal questions that I'm trying to find out about. I know things may differ depending on jurisdiction, but I wanted to get some advice on the liability issues for using BLS skills (eg. applying oxygen masks or using BVM, inserting oral or nasopharyngeal airways, defibrillation with approved external medical direction/authority). The company only supplies me with a basic first aid kit (bandages and a pocket mask), however, I could always bring in my own supplies from my volunteer association. So in your jurisdiction, if I was to improperly use BLS equipment, would I or the company be held liable?
