This is an official ODERSA website. Here’s how you know

The official domain

The address of this site ends in odersa.org. Every service the association runs sits on a subdomain of odersa.org and nowhere else. If the address in your browser’s address bar does not end in odersa.org, this site is not ours.

Free, and no account

Everything is open straight away. No sign-up, no account, no password, no subscription, no advertising. Nothing is held back for those who pay, because there is nothing to pay for.

No data collected

This site does not follow you: no tracker, no tracking cookie, no measurement tool built into these pages, and nothing measured on your device. Our host counts requests in aggregate, as any server that answers does: a total, never a profile. You do not have to take our word for it: open your browser’s developer tools, go to the Network tab, and reload the page. You will see the full list of what the site asks for. Everything comes from odersa.org, nothing goes anywhere else.

Free to reuse

The content is published under the CC BY 4.0 licence. You may copy it, translate it, print it and pass it on, for your classes as much as for the people around you, on one condition only: credit ODERSA.

odersa.orgHealth programmeIn a real emergency in France: 15 or 112.

Write

One address, one person, one answer.

There is no form on this page, and that is not an oversight: a form would send your words to a third-party service, which this site does nowhere.

A medical correction: the most useful message we can get

If you are an instructor, a first aider, a clinician, or simply someone who has read the guidelines more closely than we have, and you see an error: write. Give the public source that makes you say so, and we will correct the action or take it out.

First aid guidelines change. Every situation carries its date of check, and the whole content is rechecked online every six months. Reporting something simply speeds that work up.

We give no medical advice by email, and we answer no question about a real or ongoing case. In a real emergency in France: 15 or 112. Deaf, deafblind, hard of hearing and speech-impaired people: 114 by text message, chat or video.
