The document provides guidelines for transporting victims of accidents or injuries. It explains that victims should be moved as little as possible and only transported from the scene of the incident if absolutely necessary for safety reasons. Various techniques are described for transporting a victim without a stretcher or with the help of one or more rescuers, as well as using a stretcher which is the recommended method as it immobilizes the victim.

• When dealing with a wounded or
unconscious person, it is crucial to
examine in the same place where he was
found, without moving or transporting the
victim until first aid care has been
provided since, otherwise, there is a risk
of aggravating the situation and causing
new wounds.
• Only in extreme situations (fire,
electrocution, asphyxia, flooding, trapping,
etc.) should the victim be transferred with
the maximum care to the closest place
where first aid can be provided.

The lifeguard should kneel astride the
victim, and place his head under the tied
wrists. He should then creep forward, sliding
the accident victim across the floor. The
evacuation may also be done on the back of
the lifeguard or carrying the victim on his
shoulder.

accident victim with an arm under the thighs,
holding each other’s wrists; the other pair of
hands will provide support for the back.
