When helping a road-crash casualty, after ensuring the surroundings are safe and requesting help through 112, what should you do to guide initial assistance?

Correct answer

Assess their condition and follow the 112 operator’s instructions.

Assess the person’s condition, checking responsiveness and following the 112 operator’s instructions, without unnecessary movement or unfamiliar procedures. The protect-alert-help approach starts with protection and alerting; the prompt places assessment within assistance after securing the surroundings. Someone unresponsive or not breathing normally needs urgent help; follow the operator’s instructions.
