How would you deal with an emergency? Would you immediately know what to do? Here are some important points to remember in case of an emergency:
1. Keep calm. Think of what has happened and what are the dangers for others and myself.
2. Report the emergency.
3. Take action, that means rescue the person in danger and take care of the victim. Also try to make things safe, for example switch off the power source. Avoid getting yourself in danger.
4. Finally take care of the victim and help in any way you can. A good hint before a hazard occurs is also to check the alarm plan for your area. It shows the escape routes, the assembly points and also includes a checklist for rules of behaviour.
