First aid, fire safety and emergency procedures
What this domain tests
The exam checks your priorities at a crash or bus fire: protect the scene, prevent further harm, alert emergency services and give basic life support until help arrives.
Core rules
- Emergency numbers in Norway: 113 medical, 110 fire, 112 police. Give location, number of injured, hazards and your name.
- Secure the scene: stop safely, engine off, handbrake on, hazard lights, high-vis vest and warning triangle well before the site on a fast road.
- Do not move an injured person unless there is immediate danger such as fire or traffic.
- Check airway, breathing and circulation. Call 113 and start CPR if the person is unresponsive and not breathing normally: 30 compressions to 2 rescue breaths, about 100-120 compressions per minute. Use an AED as soon as it is available.
- Control severe bleeding with direct pressure. Keep the person warm and monitor breathing.
- For a bus fire: evacuate passengers away from the vehicle, ideally upwind; use emergency exits and roof hatches; call 110; do not open an engine cover if the fire is inside.
Worked example
Smoke comes from the rear engine compartment. You stop in a safe place, switch off the engine, evacuate everyone to the roadside upwind and call 110. You do not open the engine cover, because extra oxygen can intensify the fire. You use the extinguisher only on a small fire with a clear escape route.
Traps that cost marks
Moving a casualty with a suspected spinal injury; using water on a fuel or electrical fire; letting passengers stay near the bus; and forgetting the warning triangle on a high-speed road.
