First aid

It may happen that you will witness or suffer an accident. Everyone should know how to behave in such a situation. It is worth knowing how to identify an injury so that you can provide appropriate first aid. If we help the victim before the ambulance arrives, we will increase his or her chances for a fast recovery without complications.

If you see an injured person, it is important to call help. However, there are some basic first aid procedures that everyone should be able to perform. It is because you and the injured person may find yourselves in a hard‑to‑reach place (e.g. in the middle of a forest) and you will have to rely only on each other for some time.

Try to immobilize a schoolmate’s arm with a triangular sling on your own (you can use a neck scarf for this purpose).

After providing first aid to the victim, call appropriate services! It is necessary to remember the emergency telephone numbers:
112 – general emergency number from mobile phones,
992 – emergency gas service,
997 – police,
998 – fire brigade,
999 – ambulance service,
When calling emergency services, provide your first name, surname and the number of the phone from which you are calling. Describe what has happened and where it took place. Describe the victim’s injuries and condition.

• In the case of an accident, the ability to provide first aid to victims is very important.

• You can identify many injuries on your own and put on appropriate bandage before a visit to hospital.

• Emergency numbers should be memorized.
