First Aid has a limited scope.
It is designed this way- as the techniques taught are evidence based (ish), and ensure practicality in situations of limited to no resources.
ERC guidelines are pretty specific:

@M_V The course taught you what you need to do.
HI are complex. All you should/can do is not move them, unless its not safe, try and stop the bleeding and wait for help to arrive.
In fact the above is pretty much the FA line in general.
Do what you've been trained to do and get help.
In that case- legally- you're (usually) covered.
(This is true of all levels of response).
As an aside-
Slings/ splints really work magic when done right. Try one on your next screamer.
