SAFE STEPS is a partnership between Prudence Foundation, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and National Geographic Channel for all programmes. The Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) is also a principal partner for SAFE STEPS Road Safety.
The SAFE STEPS programme underscores Prudence Foundation's steadfast commitment to protecting lives and serving the needs of communities throughout Asia and Africa.
"Medolgy". First Aid-Choking(adult): Five steps for first aid of choking are: #Cough it out. #Slap it out - 5 back blows. #Squeeze it out - 5 abdominal thrusts. #Check their mouth. #Call medical helpline numbers & repeat the actions. The first aid treatment for suffocation: Strike five separate times between the person's shoulder blades with the heel of your hand. Give five abdominal thrusts. If back blows don't remove the stuck object, give five abdominal thrusts, also known as the Heimlich maneuver. Alternate between five blows and five thrusts until the blockage is dislodged. Performing CPR on a choking victim: Locate the area over the heart to begin chest compressions - between the breasts and on the lower third of the sternum. Stand or kneel directly over the victim's chest. Lock your elbows and use only your upper body weight to supply the force for the chest compressions, and count as you perform them. The basics of first aid: First aid is as easy as ABC - airway, breathing and CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). In any situation, apply the DRSABCD Action Plan. DRSABCD stands for: Danger - always check the danger to you, any bystanders and then the injured or ill person. (hseguru@yahoo.in).
Importantly, REMAIN CALM IN ANY HIGH INTENSITY SITUATION. Especially in first aid, if there is a major health risk, be calm and reassure the person as not to raise their blood circulation, which if it’s a case of bleeding, you definitely don’t want to do, as they would only bleed more.
Hello, this is a great educational video. I happened to watch this video of yours coz of school requirements. I would like to ask for your permission or at least inform you, could I include the intro of this video in my video assignment about safety procedures for survival particularly amidst emergencies. Rest assured that if our outputs will be posted on social media, i will give the rightful credits to you and to the other sources I will be taking visual aids form. This is merely for educational purposes. Thank you so much.🙂

I am a new rider. I am from the US, retired in the Philippines. It can be argued here in PH that dogs on the road are the #1 cause of motorcycle crashes, injuries and death. Of course it is best to avoid. But what if you are going to hit the dog? I believe that locking up brakes and or sudden swerve is the worse thing to do. I believe that Holding on tight and taking the dog dead center is best. I rehearse this over and over in my mind. I repeat to myself, if in this last instant situation, hold on and say to myself: “Speed bump.” Hit the dog the same as if I suddenly came up on a speed bump too fast. Hold on and take the bounce and remain in control. The goal is to avoid going down in a crash. I am interested in what you would do if you are in a situation where you are going to hit a dog. What do you do in that final instant? Thank you.
Why do not use ice? One suggestion, use Amberley or orajel to reduce pain after initial treatment. Then there's a med called silvadene which does work. Guys who had oxygen burns killing the skin used silvadene, where otherwise the scar tissue would have appeared all waxy and red. I've been caught on fire as well, where all of our skins show little to no obvious burns. Again, these were severe burns where scar tissue is usually rough. But I keep ambesol and orajel for pain killing. It works.
