First aid and incident response

Tractor incidents tend to be severe: rollovers, entanglement with power take-off shafts, run-overs during reversing, collisions on narrow lanes. The test checks a fixed order of actions - protect yourself and the scene, alert the emergency services, then treat - and a handful of first-aid decisions that non-professionals commonly get wrong.

The order of actions

  1. Protect: stop safely, switch off the engine, apply the handbrake, switch on hazards, put on the reflective vest and place the warning triangle far enough back to be seen by fast traffic (at least 50 m on an ordinary road, more beyond a crest or bend).
  2. Alert: dial 155 for the ambulance, 150 for firefighters, 158 for police, or 112. State the location, the number of casualties, hazards (fuel, machinery, live PTO) and your phone number.
  3. Assess and act: catastrophic bleeding and absent breathing come before fractures and shock.

Key procedures

  • Unresponsive and not breathing normally: start CPR, 30 compressions to 2 breaths, 100–120 compressions per minute, depth 5–6 cm, and use an AED as soon as one arrives.
  • Unresponsive but breathing: recovery position, monitor the airway.
  • Severe limb bleeding: direct pressure, then a tourniquet above the wound if pressure fails.
  • Do not remove a motorcyclist's helmet, do not move a casualty unless there is immediate danger, do not give food or drink.
  • Keep the casualty warm and reassure them; shock is treated by lying them down and conserving heat.
  • Amputated parts: wrap clean, seal in a bag, keep cool but never in direct contact with ice.

Worked example

You find a cyclist unconscious beside the road but breathing. Reasoning: first secure the scene so no second collision happens, then call 155. Because the casualty is breathing, place them in the recovery position despite a possible spinal injury - an unprotected airway kills faster than a suspected fracture - and keep monitoring breathing until the ambulance arrives.

Traps that cost marks

  • Treating a fracture before controlling bleeding.
  • Pulling an injured rider's helmet off.
  • Leaving the scene unmarked on a bend.
