Is it fully justifiable in the presented situation to check if the accident perpetrator had applied emergency brake and turned off the engine?
Description
Guidelines of the Polish Resuscitation Council 2010 – safety of self, the casualty, and the scene
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
The recording shows a road incident in which the casualty lies on the roadway directly next to the vehicle. As part of securing the accident scene and ensuring safety, the priority is to eliminate hazards coming from the car. Checking if the emergency brake is applied and turning off the engine is fully justified to prevent the vehicle from rolling onto the casualty or a fire from breaking out.
