If you fall or witness a fall, do you know what to do? .: HP25-8/2016E-PDF

We all fall from time to time. With age, both the number of falls and the likelihood of injury increase. So, it’s important to know what to do if you fall or if you see someone else fall. Reacting properly to a fall can make the difference between a “serious” fall and a “less serious” one. It often helps to decrease any physical and psychological consequences. It enables you to regain your confidence more quickly and to continue to be as independent as possible.
