First aid, incident management and emergency procedures

This domain tests the sequence you follow at a bus incident and the first aid you can actually deliver. Marks are lost by putting care before scene safety, or by describing a solo-vehicle response when 40 passengers must be moved.

The order of actions

Danish first-aid training uses the sequence the exam expects: sikr – varsl – red (secure, alert, rescue). Secure the scene before touching anyone: hazard lights, engine off, handbrake, warning triangle, high-visibility vest. Alert 112 with an exact location - on a motorway use the kilometre marker or the nearest exit number. Only then give first aid.

Securing a bus incident

  • Get passengers out on the side away from traffic, behind the crash barrier and upwind of any fire, then count heads against the manifest.
  • Place the warning triangle well behind the vehicle and behind any bend or crest so it is seen in time; never walk along the carriageway itself.
  • Do not move an injured person unless there is fire, traffic or another immediate danger.

First aid essentials

  • Unresponsive and not breathing normally: start CPR, 30 compressions to 2 breaths, 100–120 compressions per minute, 5–6 cm deep, and send for the AED.
  • Unresponsive but breathing: recovery position, monitor breathing.
  • Severe bleeding: direct pressure, then a pressure bandage; a tourniquet only when pressure fails.
  • Shock: lie the casualty down, keep them warm, give nothing by mouth.
  • Burns: cool with water, do not remove stuck clothing.

Reporting

Any accident involving personal injury must be reported to the police; you must stop, give your details and stay until the police allow you to leave. Record the other party's details and witnesses, photograph the scene, and tell your operator immediately so tachograph and camera data are preserved.

Worked example

A trailer tyre bursts on a motorway and the combination stops on the hard shoulder. Correct sequence: hazard lights on; passengers evacuated to the far side of the barrier rather than kept in a bus that is close to live traffic; triangle placed behind the vehicle; 112 called with the kilometre marker; first aid given only to casualties; police informed because there are injuries. If the bus can still be driven, continuing to the next exit is better than stopping on the hard shoulder.

Traps

  • Giving first aid before securing the scene.
  • Leaving the warning triangle in the boot.
  • Letting passengers stand between the bus and the traffic.
  • Forgetting to preserve tachograph data after an incident.
