Safety and Stabilization

Safety and stabilization involve steps taken immediately after a crisis or injury to protect people from further harm and to prevent the situation from worsening. Safety focuses on removing hazards, securing the environment, and ensuring everyone remains protected. Stabilization involves controlling any ongoing dangers, such as stopping bleeding or supporting a person’s vital functions, to keep the situation steady until further help or medical assistance is available. Together, they aim to minimize injury, prevent additional risks, and prepare the scene for professional intervention or medical treatment.
