First Aid, Fire Safety and Incident Handling
What this domain tests
The exam tests scene safety, emergency calls, basic first aid and fire response. You are expected to act in a calm, ordered way rather than rush into danger.
Core rules
- Norwegian emergency numbers: 113 for medical help, 110 for fire, 112 for police. Give location, what happened, number of casualties and hazards.
- Secure the scene first: warning triangle, hazard lights, high-visibility vest, and keep traffic away. Do not create a second accident.
- First aid follows the ABC approach: airway, breathing, circulation. Call for help, start CPR if breathing is absent, and control severe bleeding with direct pressure.
- For fire: raise the alarm, evacuate people, and only attack a small fire if you have a clear escape route and the correct extinguisher. Never open a bonnet fully if the engine is burning.
- Report the incident to the emergency services and your employer, and complete the required incident documentation.
Worked example
You see smoke from your lorry's engine compartment. You stop in a safe place, switch off the engine, get passengers clear, call 110 and use the on-board extinguisher only through a small opening if the fire is still small. If flames are larger or the fire reaches the fuel or load, withdraw and keep others back.
Traps that cost marks
Moving an injured motorcyclist without need. Standing between the wreckage and oncoming traffic. Using water on an electrical or fuel fire. Re-entering the cab for belongings when fire is spreading.
