Practicing this principle advocates safety awareness which is essential in achieving quality of life. But our immediate environment poses danger to everyone. No place is considered safe, not even in the comfort of our homes. Accidents may happen to anybody at any place, anytime. Thus, taking the right safety measures greatly helps prevent accidents and injuries. Nevertheless, when accidents happen, it is important to have knowledge and skills on safety education and injury prevention could help you, your loved ones and other people in your community during emergency situations.
Tactful- careful
Rinse the cut or wound with water and apply pressure with sterile gauze, a bandage, or a clean cloth.
Apply cold compress at the burnt part to help it ease the pain and to let the injury cool down. After a few minutes, pat it dry and cover it with a gauze
Swallowed poison. Remove anything remaining in the person's mouth. If the suspected poison is a household cleaner or other chemical, read the container's label and follow instructions for accidental poisoning. If the person vomits, turn his or her head to the side to prevent choking.
The first thing we should do is to seek medical assistance immediately. Then, we will make sure that the victim will have someone to look up to him. And while waiting for the medics, be ready to describe other medications he is taking and any information you have about the victim. And lastly, if possible, find the substance package that is used by the victim.
