LASER - First Aid
Key Messages are taken from the current First Aid manual authorised by St John Ambulance, St Andrew's Ambulance Association and the Red Cross.
 |
Scenarios must be appropriate for the age of the participants.
Because of the 'hands-on' nature of First Aid, a minimum of two adults should be present at all times.
Recovery position should only be demonstrated by one adult to another adult. |
Accredited schemes ensure their First Aid scenarios contain the following: -
Key Messages
- (DRABC) Danger - Response - Airway - Breathing - Recovery Position - Circulation - (HELP)
- Injury Prevention
LASER schemes should not cover the practical actions used in choking and resuscitation, both are complex and can cause harm.
First Aid often requires a 999/112 call to be practiced.
First Aid is often embedded in other safety scenarios.
