In the basic protocol for acting at a traffic accident scene, what specific actions does the acronym PAS stand for?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Protect, Alert and Help. The order of this acronym is not random, but a vital safety sequence established by the DGT and international organizations: Protect (P): Before attending to anyone, the priority is to secure the area to prevent further accidents (self-protection, signaling the scene, switching off the engine of the crashed vehicle). Alert (A): Call the emergency services (112) providing accurate information. Help (S): Only once the area is protected and the alert has been given, should you assist the injured, avoiding moving them unless there is an imminent danger of death (such as a fire). Any other combination of words is incorrect because it breaks the chain of survival.
