First aid is the help given to an injured person by those present at the time of the accident. It is important that correct first aid is given until the ambulance arrives.

First Aid Recovery Position for Epileptic Seizure

What has happened? 

  1. Always ensure your own safety before you examine the patient

  2. Get an overview 
     

Check:

  1. Consciousness - is the patient conscious? (look at / talk to / touch

  2. Airways - open the airways

  3. Breathing - check if the person is breathing normally

  4. Circulation - check bleedings

  5. Temperature - prevent cooling

​

Recovery position

Stop bleeding: Press a finger into the wound, lay the injured person down with the bleeding area elevated.

For burns, scalds or chemical burns: Rinse thoroughly with cold water or other cooling agent.

​

Alerting emergency services

  • Dial: 112 - (in Denmark),

  • 112 - police (in Norway),

  • 113 - ambulance (in Norway)

Ensure someone is at the gate/entrance to direct the emergency vehicle to the correct location.

​

General first aid

For minor bleeding, apply a bandage.

Speak calmly and hold the injured person's hand or put an arm around their shoulder.

Electric Shock

Burns and Scalds

Fatigue

Never touch the injured person directly until the power is turned off.                                    

  • If possible, turn off the main power switch.

  • If the person is not breathing, give artificial respiration.

  • If there is no pulse, perform cardiac massage.

  • Call an ambulance.

Anyone with burn marks or who has been unconscious after receiving an electric shock should be examined by a doctor, even if they do not feel unwell.

Immediately cool the burned area mwith cold or preferably ice-cold water (15-20°C). If possible, immerse the burned area in a bucket or basin of water.

 

Continue rinsing until the pain stops, but at least half an hour. Continue rinsing on the way to any treatment.

When working in hot and especially extremely hot environments, heatstroke or sunstroke can occur.

​

If you experience visual disturbances, nausea, dizziness, or headache:

  • Help the person to a cooler environment and give them plenty to drink (water, juice, etc.).

  • Cool the person down by placing their hands/forearms and feet in ice-cold water (15-20°C).

  • If the person faints, call an ambulance.
