The PAS (protect, alert, help) protocol is the basic course of action in any road accident, and it follows its initials: Protect: The priority is to ensure your own safety, that of the vehicle and that of the victims to prevent further accidents. The site must be marked (hazard lights, reflective vest and advance warning with the connected V-16 warning light). Alert: Once the surroundings are secured, the emergency services (telephone number 112) must be alerted immediately, giving the precise location, the number of vehicles involved and the apparent condition of the injured. Help: After protecting the area and calling the emergency services, initial assistance is given to the injured, following the basic first aid guidelines (never move an injured person except in imminent danger to life, do not remove motorcyclists' helmets and do not give them anything to drink). Any change in the order, such as helping before protecting or alerting, endangers the life of the person giving aid and delays the arrival of specialized assistance.
