Risk Assessment - Emergency

If one of us is injured in any way, it would be necessary to evaulate how severe the injury. So, I there are a few degrees of emergency that we will be looking for if an injury occurs.

LOW: If a minor injury occurs (bump to the head) then the injured person can simply 'walk it off' or get an ice pack to reduce swelling.

MEDIUM: If  a mild injury occurs (cut that causes bleeding) then we must find a something clean to wrap around the wound and clean when the bleeding has stopped. If an adult is present (parent) then asking them for help would be wise too.

HIGH: If a miajor injury occurs (loss of conciousness) then we must immediately ask for help from any nearby adult or failing that call for an ambulance for their help.
