Take standard precautions using appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
Evaluate a person to determine whether they have life-threatening bleeding
Activate EMS and/or your emergency action plan (EAP)
Stop life-threatening bleeding by manual pressure, wound packing, and/or applying a tourniquet
