Before approaching casualties at a traffic accident, what should a person providing help check first?

Correct answer

That they can help without endangering themselves or causing another accident.

That they can act without endangering themselves or causing another accident. PAS starts with protection: their own safety and that of other road users and casualties. Stop in a safe place and do not enter a dangerous area; then call 112 and follow instructions to assist within your capabilities. Protecting casualties is also part of the response, but do not do so by unnecessarily exposing yourself to traffic or another danger.
