First aid, fire protection and incident management (Førstehjelp og brannvern)
This domain tests immediate life-saving action and scene control at a bus incident.
Core actions
- Scene safety first: stop safely, hazard lights, high-vis vest, warning triangle where required, and keep passengers away from traffic. Call 113 for medical emergency, 110 for fire, 112 for police.
- First aid: check response and breathing. If unresponsive and not breathing normally, start CPR: 30 compressions to 2 breaths, compressions 5–6 cm deep at 100–120 per minute. Use an AED as soon as it arrives.
- Recovery position for an unconscious but breathing casualty. Control severe bleeding with direct pressure. Treat shock by lying the casualty down and keeping them warm. Cool burns with water for at least 20 minutes; do not remove stuck clothing.
- Fire: alert, evacuate, call 110. Use the extinguisher only on a small fire and always keep an escape route behind you. Aim at the base of the flames. Never use water on fuel or electrical fires. Do not fully open an engine cover if the engine is burning.
- After the incident: secure the scene, account for passengers, do not reset or alter tachograph data, and report to the operator.
Worked example
A passenger collapses in the aisle and is not breathing. Open the door, ask someone to call 113 and fetch the AED, lay the passenger flat, and start CPR. Do not move them to a seat. Keep the bus stopped until the ambulance arrives, and record times if you can.
Traps
Moving a casualty unnecessarily; delaying CPR to look for a pulse; using water on a fuel fire; and letting passengers stand near the bus on the traffic side.
