These are the skills you should have in case you are involved in an accident. It is essential to be able to recognize the signs of first aid when you are young.
These letters are important in an emergency: P – A – S.
P to Protect: Before you give help, ensure that you are first safe for yourself and then the person being injured.
A to Alert: Call the emergency services and first introduce yourself. Then calmly explain what’s happening.
S to rescue: While you wait for help, you can comfort the injured person. If he is not conscious but still breathing, you can place him on his back in a lateral safety pose (PLS).
It depends on the circumstances. Run cold water for five to ten minutes over minor burns. If someone is bleeding heavily from a cut with a knife or a kitchen knife, you can apply cold water to the wound for 5-10 minutes. If someone is seriously injured by a fall, don’t move them.
Don’t panic. Keep calm and try to think through what you should do. You will be able to stay cool and useful while you wait for help by knowing the right actions to take.
