When involved in an emergency situation, it is human nature to jump in and help out immediately. If we don’t check for danger before helping, we too can become part of the emergency.
Never run into a medical emergency, only approach when it is safe to do so.
S.T.O.P
Stop - and assess the situation
Think - Can I manage, has anyone called 111, have I got a first aid kit available?
Observe - are there any dangers to me, the person I am helping or bystanders?
Protect - yourself throughout the medical emergency
The situation can change at any time, dead heroes can’t save lives. Feel free to contact your local instructor Kim McNamara 027 978 5970 to arrange your first aid requirements. Check out the different options, learn first aid for free.
