Join with the other room for basic first aid training • Breathing and Airways • Recovery position • Bleeding • Blisters • Choking • Burns
If something goes wrong – CALL FOR HELP • Call the leaders if you feel you need help • Shout for help if someone is in trouble • Keep making sure you seek help
Airways – If someone collapses and becomes unconscious make sure they can breath Practice
Recovery Position Practice
Burns 10 minutes of constant water supply over the burn
Safety • For emergencies only you will be able to carry you phone in your bag. The Expedition requires that you do not use a mobile phone other than in emergencies and doing so will cause you to fail the expedition section The first person you must call in an emergency is the leader (Mr Gibbons) who will be in a minibus and can get to you. Never call parents in an emergency – it just means the leaders have to deal with parents and the emergency rather than just the emergency – we have contact numbers and will let parents know if something has happened
Safety 2. You must always walk in groups of 4 or more. Anyone caught walking in smaller groups than that will not continue the expedition and parents will be asked to collect them. If someone is injured and they cannot move and there is no signal: 1 person must stay with them, 2 people must walk to the nearest checkpoint. If you have more in your group then split them evenly
Other info 3. When approaching roads make sure they are safe to cross as there are unlikely to be crossing points. Look both ways! 4. Keep litter with you and dispose of it at the campsite 5. You must report to each checkpoint on your route
