First aid: essential measures after a traffic accident

After a traffic accident, quick and correct action is crucial. These aspects are not only important for those directly involved, but also for other road users. It is recommended that every driver and road user take part in a first aid course to acquire theoretical knowledge and practical skills.

One of the first steps after an accident is to secure the accident site by switching on the warning indicator system and setting up a warning triangle. Furthermore, you should check your own injuries and make sure that you are safe yourself before you put the emergency call (112) and pass clear information about the scene of the accident, the parties involved and possibly injuries. When the injuries are initiated, it is important to check awareness, to check the breathing and, if necessary, initiate resuscitation measures. The supply of visible wounds is also one of the basic first aid measures.
