- Escape from the Helicopter which is on the water or sink & capsize underwater by pushing the window or exit door
- Swim to the surface of the water & seek help, including searching for Liferaft
- Survive in the sea

Things to remember:
- PPE, life jacket & EBS must always be used
- First Aid must be given to victims, especially those who are Hypothermic

First Aid And CPR

When an emergency occurs, First Aid is the only action needed & must be done before the Medical Team arrives.

When a person faints, the most important actions to take first are:
- Checking the victim's consciousness: Conscious or unconscious?
- Is the victim responsive or unresponsive?
- Checking pulse
- Checking the breath

If the victim is not breathing, the next steps to take are:
- Contacting the Medical Team before performing First Aid
- First Aid can be started by performing Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)
- Opening & clearing the airway
- Providing respiratory support
- Performing Chest Compressions to maintain blood circulation: Pressing the center of the chest down hard & fast with both hands & letting the chest rise back naturally between compressions
- Turning the body to the side after the victim is conscious & can breathe again
- Checking the victim's condition after the victim can breathe & the heart beats: Is there any injury, broken bones & more?
