Answer 1

Here are clear, concise definitions for each term you listed.

General safety terms
- Hazard: A source or situation with the potential to cause harm, injury, illness, damage, or loss (e.g., a slippery floor, a chemical, electricity).
- Risk: The likelihood and possible severity of harm resulting from exposure to a hazard (often expressed as probability × consequence).
- Accident: An unplanned, undesired event that results in injury, illness, damage, or loss.
- Prevention: Actions or measures taken to stop an incident, injury, or illness from occurring (e.g., guarding machinery, training, safe procedures).
- Emergency: A sudden, unexpected situation that poses immediate risk to health, life, property, or the environment and requires urgent action.
- Preparedness: The planning, training, resources, and procedures put in place to respond effectively to emergencies and reduce their impact.

First-aid vocabulary
- First Aid: Immediate care given to an injured or ill person until professional help arrives.
- CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation): A lifesaving technique combining chest compressions and rescue breaths (or hands‑only compressions) to maintain circulation and oxygenation in an unresponsive person not breathing normally.
- AED (Automated External Defibrillator): A portable device that analyses a victim’s heart rhythm and, if needed, delivers an electric shock to restore a normal rhythm.
- Conscious: Awake and responsive to stimuli (able to talk, follow instructions, or react).
- Unconscious: Not awake and not responsive to normal stimuli; unable to protect airway or follow instructions.
- Shock: A life‑threatening condition in which the body’s tissues don’t get enough blood flow. Signs include pale, cool, clammy skin; rapid weak pulse; rapid shallow breathing; dizziness or confusion; and low blood pressure. Treat by calling emergency services, laying the person flat, keeping them warm, and treating the cause if possible (do not give food/drink if unconscious).
- Heimlich Maneuver (abdominal thrusts): A first‑aid technique to expel an airway obstruction from a conscious choking adult or child by applying upward abdominal thrusts; for infants and some cases use back blows and chest thrusts instead.
- Fracture: A break, crack, or splintering in a bone.
- Sprain: Injury to a ligament (the tissue that connects bone to bone), usually from overstretching or tearing.
- Strain: Injury to a muscle or tendon (the tissue that connects muscle to bone), usually from overstretching, tearing, or overuse.
- Burns: Skin and tissue injuries caused by heat, chemicals, electricity, friction, or radiation; classified by depth (first, second, third degree).
- Wound: Any break in the skin or underlying tissues (cuts, lacerations, abrasions, punctures).
- Bleeding Control: Methods used to stop or reduce hemorrhage—apply direct pressure with a clean dressing, maintain pressure until bleeding slows, use pressure points or elevation for limb bleeding, and apply a tourniquet or hemostatic dressing for severe, life‑threatening arterial bleeding when direct pressure fails.
- Immobilize: To prevent movement of an injured body part (e.g., with a splint, sling, or padding) to reduce pain, prevent further injury, and allow safe transport.

If you want, I can add short first‑aid steps for each condition (e.g., fractures, sprains, bleeding, burns) or printable one‑page summaries.
