What To Do First

Safety

This Is Not A Joke

First aid is a big deal, and not something to make a joke out of. In a real situation, it can be a matter of life and death. Because this is so serious it is good to know some basic first aid.

Certification

Remember, you are not certified. There are some situations that will require more than you know. If you don’t know how to care for them correctly, don’t. Let a person who does know now take care of them. Getting different certifications are important and helpful to know.
