2. What are the first steps in accident management?

An accident is an event, generally undesired, which occurs at a specific time, as a result of one or more causes, and which causes damage to people, property or the environment.

No accident happens without a cause. However, when you witness an accident, the cause may still be present and may lead to another accident, known as over-accident. To manage the first few minutes after an accident (avoid over-accident, take care of victims, etc.), you need to apply the PAS technique (protect – alert – rescue).
