Every year in the UK, thousands of people die or are seriously injured in incidents. Many deaths could be prevented if first aid was given before emergency services arrive.
What to do
If someone is injured you should:
- First check that you and the casualty aren’t in any danger, and, if possible, make the situation safe.
- If necessary, dial 999 or 112 for an ambulance when it’s safe to do so.
- Carry out basic first aid
