The PAS rule is used to remember the basic procedures to follow in an accident. What do these initials stand for?

Correct answer

Proteger, Avisar or Alertar, and Socorrer: protect, alert and assist.

PAS comes from the Spanish Proteger, Avisar and Socorrer; Alertar is also used for A. It means protect, alert emergency services and assist. Protect without endangering yourself, call 112 with the location and what happened, and help within your knowledge following instructions. It does not mean moving injured people indiscriminately or exposing yourself to traffic to restore its flow.
