Complete the table by noting the possible risks of the activity and propose what preventive measure can be taken to eliminate or minimize it. | Factors of risk | Preventive measures | |---|---| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 11.

Emergency Situations **Fig. 5.4. Protocol for general action in emergency situations** | | | |---|---| | Protect all people | | | Alert the emergency services | | | Help the victim | | Even if all safety measures are taken and prudence is exercised, in nature there are times when an unforeseen incident creates an emergency situation, for example, during an excursion in the mountains. In these cases, the general protocol for action is the so-called PAS chain, which consists of three successive actions: 1. **Protect** all people present, starting with your own person who is providing help. You must check and ensure the safety of the surrounding area and protect the victim or victims, if any. 2. **Alert** the emergency services through **112**. (Doc 5.7) 3. **Help** the victim or victims, if any. The assistance must be given using the knowledge that you have of first aid and the indications that can be provided through **112** while the professional medical care arrives. ## Document 5.7 ### Emergency calls to **112** In the European Union, **112** is the single telephone number for citizens to request assistance for any type of emergency (health, fires, rescue and public safety). It is a free number that can be called from any fixed or mobile phone, provided there is coverage of the global communication system for mobile phones (GSM) of any operator. When you call **112** you must provide the following information to the person who answers the call: - Name of the establishment, facility or location of the emergency. - Address or, if it is in nature, location as accurate as possible. - Name and surname of the person requesting help. - Contact telephone number. - Type of emergency: fire, escape, explosion, etc. - Time of the incident, as accurate as possible. - Implicated people: number, approximate or real, specifying the number of victims, if any. - Dangerous products involved, if any: chlorine, toxic gases, etc. - Outdoor area affected if any, and degree of affection: other buildings, nearby houses, communication routes. - Access for emergencies. - Risks in the area, if any: fuel depots, geographical accidents, etc. 12. In pairs, simulate an emergency call to **112**. One person will think of a possible emergency situation and call for help through **112**. The other person must have the questions ready to obtain the necessary information and note the data provided by the person calling. Share the real coordinates of your location, which you can find, for example, on Google Maps. ==End of OCR for page 1==
