- Call for Help: Instruct the pupils to seek help from a teacher, an adult, or call emergency services if available.
- Apply Basic First Aid: Teach simple first aid techniques such as cleaning and covering minor cuts or bruises with a bandage.
- Comfort and Reassure: Explain to the pupils the importance of offering emotional support by comforting the victim and reassuring them that help is coming.
- Keep Warm: Emphasize the need to keep the victim warm, especially if the accident involves exposure to cold or wet conditions.
