The “First Aid – Traumatic” Step provides an introduction to the treatment of injuries that could be experienced or witnessed in a number of  contexts, such as at home, during sporting events, while camping or hiking, or while generally out in the community. Trailmen should be able to identify basic emergencies, and should develop confidence to response with basic treatments. Trailmen should be equipped with an understanding of when outside aid should be sought through dialing 911.
