FIRST AID

When an accident happens, it’s always good to know basic first aid. An introduction to first aid and life-saving first aid is available at sikresiden.no

Familiarise yourself with where you can find the nearest first aid kit for minor stab and cut injuries. Procedures for handling stab and cut injuries are described on the HSE-gateway. In the event of more serious injuries, call the emergency room or ambulance.

Call the Emergency room: 116 117
Call the medical emergency number: 113

Heart defibrillator, automated external defibrillator

BIO is equipped with three automated external defibrillators with easy access. The defibrillator is self-explanatory. Upon opening the defibrillator, a voice is activated which tells you how to proceed. Its easy to change language between English and Norwegian. The defibrillator will not shock if the patient has a pulse, so don’t be afraid to do something wrong.

The bag with the defibrillator is also contains:

Scissor, if necessary to cut off clothes
Razor blade to ensure good connection between the electrodes and the skin.
Cloth to wipe the skin for attaching the electrodes.

Remember to call the emergency number 113, tell where you are, follow instructions and send someone to receive the first aid response team.
