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.
