Accident Scene Management
- Use two people
- One person to side of victim’s head
- One person directly behind head of victim,
stabilizing head to avoid excess movement
- Remove glasses & unbuckle chin strap
- Side person puts one hand behind victim’s head,
supporting base of skull (not on helmet)
- Other hand on jaw bone or chin (not on helmet)
- Firmly support head, so head doesn’t move when
helmet is removed
