Safety, first aid and incident handling
What the exam tests
Safety, first aid and incident handling tests what you do at a crash or breakdown: secure the scene, alert emergency services, give first aid and report correctly.
Core rules
- Stop, switch off ignition, hazard lights on and put on a high-visibility vest before exiting.
- Place a warning triangle well behind the vehicle on high-speed roads, at least 100 m where safe.
- Emergency numbers in Norway: 110 fire, 112 police, 113 ambulance. Give location, number of injured and hazards.
- Do not move an injured person unless there is immediate danger such as fire. Keep them warm and monitor breathing.
- Secure the load, prevent spills and do not smoke near fuel. Report the incident to the operator.
Worked example
You arrive at a crash where a car has left the road. Your lorry is blocking one lane. Correct order: park safely with hazards on, vest on, triangle out if safe, check for fire and traffic, call 113, then help within your training. Wrong: run to the car first and leave your lorry unmarked in the lane.
Traps
Do not forget your own safety and traffic behind you. Do not give food or drink to an injured person. Do not move a motorcyclist’s helmet unless necessary. Do not leave the scene without reporting.
