FIRST AIDERFolimac Inc.

1. Assess the situation in a timely manner
A good first aider should get a full picture and understanding of what happened by carefully assessing the situation in a timely manner. This involves determining whether someone is in imminent danger, the cause of the emergency, and the number of affected casualties.
2. Stay calm, reassure, and take charge
A calm, considerate response from a first aid officer is what is needed in an emergency. This engenders trust and respect from the casualty and those people around you. Staying calm is also fundamental to giving aid to the casualty and receiving information from the casualty effectively.
3. Protect yourself or any casualties from danger
This also applies to the bystanders around the emergency scene. Never put yourself at risk. Otherwise, you won't be able to help others if you are injured yourself. Only move the casualty if leaving them would cause more harm.
If you are unable to secure scene safety, call 000 for emergency help.
4. Prevention infection
Prevent cross-contamination between you and the casualty as best as possible. Wear disposable gloves or wash your hands immediately after interaction with the casualty. And avoid coughing or sneezing while applying first aid to avoid contamination.
5. Assess the casualty
Identify the injury or nature of illness affecting a casualty as best as you can. Give early treatment, attend to the casualties with the most serious (life-threatening) conditions first.
6. Provide First Aid Treatment
Until the EMS or emergency medical services are on the scene, you need to provide all the care needed by the casualty. This may include CPR application for airway obstruction and the use of AED to relieve shock and other heart-related emergencies.
