Action in an Emergency

SAFETY AND PROTECTION

You must ensure the safety for all. Ensure you are adequately protected against the risk of infection and any other adverse element such as chemicals and gases.

HAZARDS

Be aware of potential hazards such as traffic, chemicals, fire, gas, electricity etc.

ASSESS THE SITUATION

Before rushing in to deal with an incident, you must assess the situation that you are confronted with.

PRIORITISE

Ensure you prioritise the injuries, particularly if you have multiple casualties.

ENVIRONMENT

Pay attention to the environment around you, and do not take risks. Jumping into water to save a drowning victim is not a good idea if you can’t swim!
