Stay Calm and Assess the Situation

Before taking action, pause and take a deep breath. Carefully examine the environment for dangers such as fire, electrical hazards, or traffic. Only approach if the scene is safe.

Prioritize Safety

Your safety comes first. If there’s ongoing danger, such as a fire or chemical leak, move to a safe distance and call emergency services before assisting the injured.

Call for Help

Always call for professional help in serious cases. Contact Bwangu’s ambulance services or local emergency lines. When in doubt, always err on the side of caution.

Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Protect yourself with gloves, masks, or face shields when handling bodily fluids, wounds, or during close contact. This prevents cross-infection and ensures a safer intervention.
