Côte d'Ivoire's Labour Code (Law No. 2015-532 of 20 July 2015, article 41.3 on occupational hygiene and safety) requires the employer to organise first aid and designate trained workplace first-aiders (SST) from among the staff, present during working hours. There is no fixed statutory ratio; practice follows a model of at least one first-aider per hazardous workshop or per group of about twenty workers.

No specific legal framework yet governs the care of children aged 0 to 8 in Côte d'Ivoire; a bill has been announced by the Ministry of Women, Family and Children (MFFE, 2024-2025) but, until a text is enacted, no first-aid obligation is formally imposed on crèche and daycare staff. The expected standard remains adults trained in basic first aid for the children in their care.

Côte d'Ivoire's Penal Code (Law No. 2019-574 of 26 June 2019, Article 391) imposes an affirmative duty to assist a person in peril where help can be given without risk to oneself or others. Failure to assist is punishable by imprisonment of 3 months to 5 years and a fine of 50,000 to 500,000 CFA francs, doubled (up to 10 years and 1,000,000 FCFA) where a professional or contractual duty existed.

In Côte d'Ivoire the nursing profession is overseen by the Ordre National des Infirmiers et Infirmières de Côte d'Ivoire (ONIICI), established by Law No. 2022-794 of 13 October 2022; because the order is newly created, no national CPD-point scheme tied to licence retention is yet documented. Keeping resuscitation skills current is a matter of professional responsibility and employer expectation, met by any recognized continuing-education activity (CPR/AED, ACLS).

In Côte d'Ivoire, home care and support services and private retirement homes for older and dependent adults expect their workers to master CPR and first-aid response, an employer-carried requirement in the absence of a single national residential-care standard. The dedicated APS-ASD certificate (Prevention & Rescue Actor – Home Care & Support), together with the PSC1 open to all, is the usual way to meet it, and must be renewed periodically.

Family-based care in Côte d'Ivoire is overseen by the Ministère de la Femme, de la Famille et de l'Enfant, and while no text explicitly names first aid, a current first-aid and CPR certificate from a recognized organization is commonly expected of foster families. Approval and follow-up rest with the competent social services, which assess the home and the family's capacity to care for the child.

Online CPR and first aid training is recognized in Côte d'Ivoire: the Labour Code requires first-aiders to be trained without prescribing a delivery mode, so online theory followed by a practical assessment of skills is accepted. Certification is valid for 3 years.
