What can a critical situation with Action-cards® look like?

It’s Tuesday morning and the sun is shining. At the child care center, all the children are out playing. Ann, Lauren and another educator are in the garden with the children, while the rest of the staff is cleaning up the indoor area and getting ready for lunch time.

Suddenly, Ann notices that one of the children, Sophia, is frantically scratching her mouth. Ann hurries over to the child and calls for help from the other adults.

Lauren is quick to take the Action-cards® for confident first aid, which the child care center has just introduced and which now hangs easily accessible right by the entrance to the garden.

Lauren immediately finds the card “Choking (1-8 years)” and starts to instruct Ann for each necessary step. With correctly placed pressure on Sophia’s ribcage, guided by Lauren, Ann manages to remove a small stone Sophia had swallowed. Everyone, especially Sophia, can breathe relieved.

The whole situation takes place at a high, efficient pace, yet with calmness and confidence, as both Ann and Lauren had no doubt they could trust they had the correct guidance at hand.

Without Action-cards®, the situation might have been unmanageable, and Sophia might have been mistreated, as there is a difference in how you treat choking depending on the age.

Therefore, Action-cards® are an important part of a child care center first aid kit, so educators, children, and parents can feel safe if an emergency arises.

Action-cards®, which hang visibly and are easily accessible, can help to have a necessary focus on safety in child care centers and they can help staff to act swiftly if an accident occurs.

DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?

With a first aid course, it sometimes can be difficult to remember all the details. With Action-cards®, you don’t have to remember all the details – we provide first aid information at your fingertips when you need it most!

The great advantage of Action-cards® is that they work wherever you are. With physical cards, you don’t have to be dependent on internet access, or logging in on a phone, app, tablet, or computer to get the help you need. They are also robust, and can withstand water, wind, weather, and hard shocks.

Many people today use Action-cards®. We have provided Action-cards® to many sports facilities, schools, nurseries, shops, restaurants, factories, etc. For many years, pilots, the armed forces, the police, and the pre-hospital system have used Action-cards®. They do this precisely because they know that it can be difficult to remember important details in critical situations.

Yes, all the knowledge that you would normally have with a first aid instructor you now have access to all the time with your Action-cards®. Therefore, you can easily bring out your Action-cards® and train when it fits you best. Even 30 minutes of practice a few times a year can make a dramatic difference. That way, you can continuously keep your first aid routine sharp without it costing you more than the time you choose to spend on it.

We believe that you should do what you’re most comfortable with. We know many people find it difficult to remember what to do in emergency situations. Action-cards® help people who have to act in such situations. Pilots, the armed forces, the police, and those in the pre-hospital service use them, because they know how difficult it can be to remember important details in critical situations.

There is a QR code on each Action-card® to make your accident registration as easy as possible. In less than 1 minute, you can register an accident by scanning the QR code on the corresponding card – or register if you have trained or read an Action-card®. This can be valuable documentation for you or your organization in case of a lawsuit.

If you scan this QR code, you’ll immediately register what happened, where it happened, the time it happened, and what treatments were given, without you having done anything other than scan the QR code.

When you’ve scanned the QR code, you can add additional comments and pictures of the accident’s location, along with anything else that’s relevant documentation.

A good accident record is absolutely essential to be able to find the most cost-effective solutions for more safety in your company.
