🩸 Safety Tip: Controlling Major Bleeding
In situations where someone is bleeding heavily, quick action can save a life.
🔴 Apply direct, firm pressure on the wound using a clean cloth or dressing.
🧤 Always ensure you have at least protective gloves before helping, to protect yourself from possible infection.
⏱️ Keep pressure until emergency services arrive – do not remove pressure once applied.
Learning basic bleeding control techniques and keeping a small first aid kit nearby can make all the difference in an emergency.
