Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

In any road accident the PAS (protect, alert, help) protocol must be applied strictly: Protect, Alert and Help. Within the first phase (Protect), the undisputed golden rule is self-protection: protecting yourself first. This means putting on the reflective vest before getting out of the vehicle, positioning yourself in a safe place and avoiding any unnecessary risk. If the person helping is injured or run over, they will not only be unable to give help but will create a new emergency, complicating the rescue. Once your own safety has been ensured, you proceed to secure the accident site and, lastly, to help the victims.
