Hlanganani Preparatory Grade 4 to 7 learners enjoyed a water safety lesson at school last Friday.
Nkazimulo Nyawose from Water Rescue conducted the lesson.
He focused mainly on how to perform CPR as well as hands-only CPR for those who haven’t received training.
The 4 H method is easy to perform, proven to save lives and better than waiting for trained help to arrive.
1. Hazards: Making sure its safe to reach the person.
2. Hello: Shake their shoulders and ask loudly, “Are you okay?”
3. Help: Call your local emergency services.
4. Hand: Only CPR. Do 30 compressions and repeat the compression cycle until the person starts to breath or medical help arrives.
