Is everyone obliged to administer first aid to victims of accidents?

Explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because one can independently perform some of the first-aid activities.

Under Polish law, everyone has a duty to provide assistance to victims of an accident. This duty consists, at a minimum, of securing the scene of the incident and calling the emergency services, which is an action that anyone can perform on their own. Failure to fulfil this duty, provided it does not expose the individual to personal danger, is a criminal offence.
