These are just a few examples, and specific safety measures may vary depending on the context and environment.
It’s important to stay informed, be proactive, and prioritize safety in all aspects of life.
First AID
First aid refers to the immediate assistance or treatment given to someone who has been injured or has suddenly
fallen ill. It aims to preserve life, prevent the condition from worsening, and promote recovery. First aid can
include actions like CPR, bandaging wounds, administering medications like epinephrine for allergic reactions,
and providing emotional support to the person in distress. It is crucial to have basic first aid knowledge and skills
to be able to respond effectively in emergencies until professional medical help arrives.
Golden rule’s of first aid

The golden rule of first aid is “Do no further harm.” This principle emphasizes the importance of taking actions that
will not worsen the condition or injury of the person receiving first aid. It guides first responders to prioritize safety
and cautiousness while providing assistance.

2 Identify and avoid risks to yourself, the person affected and third parties.
3 Request support early (first aiders, AED, emergency number 144).
4 Be “suspicious” and primarily assume it is something serious.

5 Deal quickly with any chaos and cope with the situation.
6 Position the patien so that they feel comfortable (except in the event of a suspected spinal injury).
7 Only let one person talk to the patient.
8 Get professional support much quicker in case of emergencies with children.

9 Ensure there is leadership: one person must always take the lead.
10 Only transport patients by ambulance or taxi.
