On finding a casualty, the main steps of emergency action are to assess the situation, make safe the area for casualty and rescuer, give emergency first aid and raise the alarm to get help.
• Assess the Situation: Identify any risks to yourself, the casualty or any other persons nearby. If in immediate danger, assess how to remove the danger from the casualty or the casualty from the danger. Do not attempt to move a casualty unless there is a life threatening situation such as a fire or flooding.
• Make the Area Safe: You should make the area safe for both casualty and rescuer. The conditions that caused an accident may still be there when you arrive. If the casualty has suffered an electric shock, switch off the electrical source or break the circuit. Stand on some dry non-conducting material and use a dry piece of wood or other non-conducting material to remove the casualty from the source of electricity.
Entry into enclosed spaces with dangerous atmospheres, for rescue or any other purposes can result in death and should only be attempted with prior authorisation from the Captain or other responsible officer after checking that the atmosphere is safe for entry and once all the procedures for entry into enclosed spaces have been complied with. Safe entry into enclosed spaces with oxygen deficient atmospheres can only be made by trained personnel using self-contained breathing apparatus.
What is First Aid:
First Aid is the assistance or treatment given to a casualty for any injury or sudden illness before the arrival of an ambulance or qualified medical expert. It may involve improvising with facilities and materials available at the time.
