  1. What is the minimum contents a PSV first aid kit must include under UK regulations?

    Answer: At least disposable gloves, plasters, sterile dressings, bandages, and guidance card — as specified in the PSV first aid kit standard

    PSV first aid kits must contain a specified minimum set of items including dressings, bandages, disposable gloves, and a guidance card.

  2. A passenger has a suspected broken leg after an emergency stop. How should the driver and first aider manage the injury until paramedics arrive?

    Answer: Immobilise the limb in the position found, support it, and do not attempt to straighten it

    Suspected fractures should be immobilised in the position found — do not attempt to straighten or move the limb unnecessarily.

  3. What is the correct treatment for a passenger showing signs of anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) on the bus?

    Answer: Call 999 immediately; if the passenger carries an adrenaline auto-injector (EpiPen), assist them in using it

    Anaphylaxis is life-threatening; call 999 immediately and help the passenger use their adrenaline auto-injector if they have one.

  4. When should a PCV driver complete an accident report for an incident on the bus?

    Answer: As soon as practicable after the incident, while details are fresh

    Accident reports should be completed as soon as practicable after the incident to ensure accurate, detailed records.

  5. If the bus becomes partially submerged after driving into flood water, what should the driver do?

    Answer: Open all doors, evacuate passengers calmly, and move everyone to high ground

    The driver should immediately evacuate all passengers and move them to higher ground away from the rising water.

  6. What action should a PCV driver take if they witness a passenger choking on food but the passenger is still able to cough?

    Answer: Encourage the passenger to keep coughing and monitor closely

    If the passenger can cough effectively, they should be encouraged to continue — their own cough is the most effective way to clear an airway obstruction.
