Workplace first aid

Guatemala's Labor Code and Governmental Agreement No. 229-2014 (amended by Agreements 33-2016 and 57-2022), enforced by MINTRAB and the IGSS, require employers to provide periodic first-aid instruction and maintain trained emergency-response brigades scaled to risk rather than a fixed first-aider-per-worker ratio.

Healthcare professional recognition

Residential care settings

In Guatemala, homes for the elderly and asylums care for dependent older people, and staff are commonly required to be able to act in an emergency and perform CPR; a recognized, up-to-date first-aid and CPR certificate — alongside geriatric nursing-assistant training — is the accepted way to meet this, with exact requirements set by the establishment.
