When approaching what looks like a seriously injured or unconscious person to administer first aid. This "DR ABC" can help you to remember what to do......

Danger - Check the area, make sure YOU are safe and so are people around you.

Response - Can the casualty hear your voice? Can they open and close their eyes? are there any movements? Do they respond to touch?

Airway - Is there a blockage in the throat or have they swallowed their tongue? Is the head in a suitable position (check first aid manual for details) to allow breathing? Care should be taken not to make anything worse but the airway MUST be cleared if it is blocked.

Breathing - Can the casualty breathe clearly? Once the airway is clear, is there any other problem - the lungs for example?

Circulation - IS there a pulse? Is the heart beating? Is the pulse weak / strong / racing
