Explanation

In an accident it is important to act in the right order so that help is quick and effective. This order is given by the PAS rule (protect, alert, help: in Spanish proteger, avisar, socorrer), which you should always apply. 1. PROTECT: take all necessary measures to protect yourself, the accident scene (by marking the area) and the victims. 2. ALERT: alert the emergency services by calling 112. 3. HELP: look after the accident victims.
