OUR CUSTOMERS KNOW BEST

When sailing at sea, professional help can be far away. Therefore, it gives me peace of mind that I have Action-cards® for confident first aid on my boat. I can both read the Action-cards® before something happens and can use them if an accident has happened.

I have attended several first aid courses over time. As with anything else you don't use often, I have a hard time remembering all the details I've learned about first aid. That's why I'm happy to have Action-cards® for confident first aid. They are really easy to use and give me extra safety both at sea and when I’m in the harbour.

What can a critical situation with Action-cards® look like?

It’s early in the year, and Tommy is out on one of the first trips in the season with the sailing club. As safety is a high priority in the sailing club, no one sails alone.

It turns out to be an incredibly lucky decision this morning when Tommy’s good friend, Oliver, suddenly trips and falls overboard. Although the friends on the boat react instantly, they don’t manage to grab Oliver before he’s out of reach. They quickly establish a lookout, exactly as they should, and start to navigate the boat to pick up Oliver from the water. But the wind is teasing and there is some current, which makes it difficult to get the boat in the right direction while Oliver drifts further and further away from the boat.

In the end, however, they manage to get close enough to Oliver to get him out of the water and up in the boat. But Oliver has been in the cold water for more than 15 minutes, and his skin is blue and he is having difficulty speaking coherently.

Tommy hurries to get the Action-cards® that all boats in the club are required to have now. Tommy quickly turns to the Action-card® called “Hypothermia”, because he knows that it is vital to act fast and correctly now. There is a good hour’s sailing to land, so every action and second counts.

Based on the simple instructions on the Action-card®, the friends on the boat ensure a comfortable re-warming of Oliver.

On the way back, the friends also spent some time evaluating how they handled the situation together and ensured through their talk that everyone is okay after the episode. Because of Tommy’s calm and confident guidance, no one had felt unsafe or in doubt about what should be done in the situation.

Tommy recommends that all boats have a set of Action-cards® for sailing, because everyone will be able to quickly and efficiently help in a variety of situations on the water.

DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS?

With a first aid course, it sometimes can be difficult to remember all the details. With Action-cards®, you don’t have to remember all the details – we provide first aid information at your fingertips when you need it most!

The great advantage of Action-cards® is that they work wherever you are. With physical cards, you don’t have to be dependent on internet access, or logging in on a phone, app, tablet, or computer to get the help you need. They are also robust, and can withstand water, wind, weather, and hard shocks. 

Many people today use Action-cards®. We have provided Action-cards® to many sports facilities, schools, nurseries, shops, restaurants, factories, etc. For many years, pilots, the armed forces, the police, and the pre-hospital system have used Action-cards®. They do this precisely because they know that it can be difficult to remember important details in critical situations.

Yes, all the knowledge that you would normally have with a first aid instructor you now have access to all the time with your Action-cards®. Therefore, you can easily bring out your Action-cards® and train when it fits you best. Even 30 minutes of practice a few times a year can make a dramatic difference. That way, you can continuously keep your first aid routine sharp without it costing you more than the time you choose to spend on it.

We believe that you should do what you’re most comfortable with. We know many people find it difficult to remember what to do in emergency situations. Action-cards® help people who have to act in such situations. Pilots, the armed forces, the police, and those in the pre-hospital service use them, because they know how difficult it can be to remember important details in critical situations.

There is a QR code on each Action-card® to make your accident registration as easy as possible. In less than 1 minute, you can register an accident by scanning the QR code on the corresponding card – or register if you have trained or read an Action-card®. This can be valuable documentation for you or your organization in case of a lawsuit.

If you scan this QR code, you’ll immediately register what happened, where it happened, the time it happened, and what treatments were given, without you having done anything other than scan the QR code.

When you’ve scanned the QR code, you can add additional comments and pictures of the accident’s location, along with anything else that’s relevant documentation.

A good accident record is absolutely essential to be able to find the most cost-effective solutions for more safety in your company.
