If you witness an injury at a security post and you do not have medical training, what is the proper course of action?

• A. Provide first aid to the extent of your training.
• B. Call for medical help and wait for professionals.
• C. Do not attempt to treat injuries unless you have medical training to handle the victim.
• D. Move the victim to a safer location and continue patrol.

Answer: (C)

Not having medical training means you should not perform medical treatment yourself. Without proper training, you might misjudge the injury, apply the wrong technique, or worsen the person’s condition. The safest course is to disengage from providing medical care and urgently secure help from trained responders who can assess and treat the victim correctly. While you wait for professionals, keep the scene safe and provide any non-medical assistance you’re capable of, but avoid any medical intervention beyond your training. This approach minimizes risk to the victim and ensures qualified care is used.
