What the law actually requires where you are — summarized from our jurisdiction guides. Open any topic for the full details.

Workplace first aid

Ecuador's Labour Code and Executive Decree 2393 require every workplace to have a first-aid kit and an emergency plan with trained brigades, keeping at least one trained worker per shift, plus an infirmary once 25 workers are on site simultaneously; no fixed numeric ratio applies beyond that.

Childcare CPR & first aid

Childcare follows the MIES Technical Norm for Child Development Centres (Ministerial Agreement 038 of 2023), requiring CDIs to respond to emergencies and provide first aid through a mandatory kit and trained brigades in their risk-reduction plan; it is an institutional-capability requirement with no fixed hours or per-staff certification, and online courses are accepted.

Good Samaritan law

Ecuador's 2014 Comprehensive Organic Criminal Code (COIP) creates no general failure-to-rescue offence and no general bystander obligation, punishing only omission of relief during armed conflict (Art. 134) and failure to report by certain named professionals (Art. 276); otherwise liability arises only from a position of guarantor.

Healthcare professional recognition

Ecuador has no mandatory nationwide continuing-education standard or state competency-certification process for health professionals, but medical and nursing staff are expected to hold a BLS certification renewable roughly every two years, driven by the employer or institutional accreditation; any recognized continuing-education activity on an eligible topic (CPR/AED, ACLS, PALS) meets it.

Residential care settings

Residential and day gerontological centres are regulated by the MIES Technical Norm, and in formal institutions first-aid and CPR certification is mandatory for staff — the SETEC/MSP-endorsed nursing-assistant certification includes mandatory first-aid, CPR and geriatric-care modules; a recognized, up-to-date certificate renewed periodically meets it.

Foster families

Foster families fall under the MIES Norma Técnica de Acogimiento Familiar, which requires applicants to pass social and psychological studies and complete a training program — including first aid, evacuation and fire prevention — before a MIES foster-family committee grants accreditation; current first-aid and CPR training is expected as part of the household's preparation.

Online course recognition

Online CPR and first-aid training is recognized in Ecuador — Decree 2393 requires first-aid training without prescribing a format, so online courses are accepted (a grey zone) while recent emergency-plan rules keep brigade practice in person; certification is valid for 3 years.
