Maryland

In Maryland, CPR programs must encompass registration, maintenance, training, post-event reporting, and documentation. To get immunity under the Good Samaritan law, you must follow these standards. They only cover CPR device-related activities. This immunity does not apply to other program operations. Maryland mandates CPR devices in middle and high schools, public pools, and dental offices. From 2024, grocery stores and restaurants must have CPR devices to boost public safety. CPR1 offers CPR training in Maryland courses, including classes in Baltimore.
