What is the first priority when a firearms-related injury occurs at a shooting range in Canada?
Answer: Ensure the scene is safe, secure all firearms, and call 911 immediately
Scene safety is always the first priority. All firearms must be made safe and emergency services called immediately for any firearms-related injury.
How should direct pressure be applied to control severe bleeding from a gunshot wound?
Answer: Apply firm, continuous pressure with a clean cloth or dressing directly over the wound
Firm, continuous direct pressure with a clean cloth or dressing is the primary method to control bleeding. Pressure should not be released until professional medical help arrives.
At a Canadian shooting range, who is responsible for calling a ceasefire in an emergency?
Answer: Anyone who identifies an unsafe situation or emergency may call ceasefire immediately
Under Canadian range safety protocols, any person who identifies an unsafe condition or emergency has the authority and responsibility to immediately call a ceasefire.
What is the purpose of placing an injured unconscious person in the recovery position?
Answer: To keep an unconscious but breathing person's airway open and prevent choking on vomit
The recovery position keeps an unconscious, breathing casualty's airway clear and allows fluid to drain from the mouth, reducing risk of airway obstruction.
When should a tourniquet be used for a firearms-related limb injury?
Answer: When severe, life-threatening bleeding from a limb cannot be controlled by direct pressure alone
A tourniquet is a last resort for life-threatening limb bleeding that cannot be controlled by direct pressure. Applied correctly and promptly, it can save a life.
What information should be provided to a 911 dispatcher after a shooting incident at a range in Canada?
Answer: Location, nature of the emergency, number of injured, whether the scene is secure, and your contact number
A 911 caller should give the location, describe the emergency clearly, state the number of victims, confirm whether the scene is safe, and provide a callback number.
