Answer:
At any accident or any emergency we must do the first part of the first aid which is primary survey also known as the drab procedures:
D- Danger
R-Response
A-Airway
B-breathing
Danger- makes sure it is safe for you before going to help the casualty example:
Switch of electricity at the mains or plug before touching the casualty or move the wire away with a wooden stick because if you use a mental stick then you might get electrocuted.
Response- shout or tap the collar bone or pinch the ear or the upper arm and then use the AVPU code
A=Alert
V=Voice
P=Pain
U=unresponsive
Airway- use two fingers and put it under the chin. The heel of the hand on the forehead and then tilt it back. We do this because we make the casualty doesn’t swallow their own tongue.
Breathing- look of the chest movement and feel for breaths for 10 seconds. Identify and treat any life threatening breathing problems. If the casualty is unconscious and not breathing then you must perform CPR.
AB procedure
Airway – open the airway (removes tongue from back of throat)
Two fingers under chin, heel of the hand on forehead and then tilt the head back.
If breathing is present you would then do a secondary survey which includes a top to toe. Check for bleeding/broken bones/burns etc. check also for clues like medical alert bracelet/necklace indicating the casualty suffers from epilepsy or diabetes, asthma inhaler, auto injector medicines.
Task 2
Emergency help line
The emergency phone line is either 999 or 112.
Before you actually phone up you need to make sure you know the location of the emergency and the telephone number.
The person that will speak to you first will be the telephone operator, who will ask whether you require the ambulance, fire or police services.

Water Safety
First Aid Safety For Water Activities and Swimming Pools. Could you tell the difference between an active swimmer and one who is in distress?
Because many water based emergencies happen quickly and without a lot of noise, an important skill is knowing how to recognise an emergency. A drowning victim or a distressed swimmer needs immediate help.
Active drowning victims are often vertical in the water trying to press their arms downwards at the side. This instinct does not move them forward or help them to tread water but is an attempt by them to keep the head above the surface of the water.
Whereas, a passive drowning victim is usually motionless in the water and often floating face down. A common mistake is to assume that a swimmer in distress is joking or playing around
