In Britain first-aiders are protected from legal action by the Good Samaritan Act. In answer to Digger, I do not think it is unreasonable to expect more pay as a first-aider has to spend time constantly revising first aid skills and checking first aid boxes. Unless of course they believe they are completely capable to handle any medical situation after doing a 4-day course.
