(Anonymous)
EMERGENCY RESCUE GUIDELINES FOR AIR BAG EQUIPPED CARS * Incident with a Fire First use normal fire extinguishing procedures then follow the rescue guidelines below. Incident with a Deployed Air Bag Use normal rescue procedures and equipment. Do not delay medical attention. DEPLOYED AIR BAGS ARE NOT DANGEROUSHowever, they do produce a dust that may cause minor skin or eye irritationwhich can be prevented by:-- Wearing gloves and eye protection-- Keeping the dust away from the patient's eyes and wounds-- Removing gloves and washing hands after exposure to the dust Incident with an Undeployed Air Bag An Undeployed air bag is unlikely to deploy after a crash.Most incidents will not require rescuers to work in what would be thedeployment path of the air bag; therefore, rescue operations can begin withoutdelay. IN THOSE RARE INSTANCES WHEN SOMEONE IS PINNED DIRECTLY BEHIND AN UNDEPLOYED AIR BAG, SPECIAL PROCEDURES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED: -- Disconnect or cut both battery cables safely -- Avoid placing your body or objects against the air bag module, or in what would be the deployment path of the air bag -- Do not mechanically displace or cut through the steering column, until after the system has been fully deactivated -- Do not cut or drill into the air bag module -- Do not apply heat in the area of the steering wheel hub
