  • It might be a septic pencil to stop minor bleeding and not chalk at all.
  • Drawing chalk outlines of people when you come across an accident scene to help save time for the police?

  • Can You Be Suide Or Charged For Using First Aid?
    no you can not be sued if you are rendering aid to someone that is injured (the burning car). there is a law called the good samaritan law that in laymans terms says if you render aid to someone and that person can not sue you for aiding them. good luck
  • Can You Be Suide Or Charged For Using First Aid?
    if you are First Aid certified you can’t be sued. There’s something called a Good Samartian Law that protects people, the important thing to remember is not to anything you’re not qualified to do and if the person is conscieous ask if you can help them first.
  • Can You Be Suide Or Charged For Using First Aid?
    There are many laws protecting a bystander giving first aid. If there are no trained professionals around, and they won’t get there in time, then yes by all means save the person. I would rather not be able to walk than die. If you want a better answer, I suggest talking to an ambulance administrator. I think if someone tried to sue you in this case, the judge would probably throw it out. Be sure to ask about a good samaritan law
  • Can You Be Suide Or Charged For Using First Aid?
    People can (and will!) sue for just about any excuse- including some that are flat-out stupid.
    But yes, there is a good-Samaritan law out there to help protect against that particular kind of litigation.
  • Can You Be Suide Or Charged For Using First Aid?
    Yes, you can be sued for providing aid to a person that winds up injured because of your good efforts if you weren’t properly trained.
    There are good samaritan laws to protect people who are only trying to help, but you have to read them. Sometimes in some instances they only protect First response physicians and emergency crews, and not the everyman.

    Well the chalk is in there for if you get lost in the woods, jungle, ect. and you have it with you, you can mark the trees or anything else solid to help you keep your path so you dont get anymore lost…or in a survival situation, if you have a stomach ache, you can eat it believe it or not…and it helps absord acid……it is made from an ingredient that is in pepto bismol.lol.

    These are just guesses, but…
    - Marking purposes, if there is any ‘survival kit’ or wilderness aspect to your kit.
    - Chalk is calcium carbonate, the main ingredient in things like Tums. Maybe they meant it for a calcium substitute.
    - Maybe is is designed to be used to stop small flows, like a styptic pencil
    Anything in the instruction booklet?

    So you can trace the dead body. You see police men and women are getting lazier and lazier on us so they just are giving us the go ahead to start the process without them.

    It’s in case you have a hopscotch emergency!
    It’s probably a stypic pencil to stop bleeding.
