5 Common First Aid Mistakes We See on Set

🎬 We’ve seen it all. From paper towels stuffed into wounds to “walking it off” with a sprained ankle…

Here are 5 common first aid mistakes we see on set and why you should avoid them 👇

1️⃣ “I didn’t want to bother anyone.”

☠️ Waiting can make things worse. We’re here for the small stuff too.

2️⃣ Gaffer tape ≠ wound care

🩹 It’s magical… but not sterile. Please come to us for proper dressings.

3️⃣ “I took someone else’s meds.”

💊 This one’s scary. Never share prescription meds, even if it “worked for them.”

4️⃣ Ignoring symptoms because it’s the last day of shoot

🧠 If you’re dizzy, short of breath, or in pain, tell someone. We’d rather miss after work drinks than miss something serious.

5️⃣ Not telling us about pre-existing conditions

🫀 Knowing if you’re epileptic, have anaphylaxis, or prone to fainting helps us help you faster.

📣 The takeaway: First aid isn’t just for emergencies.

It’s about early intervention, reassurance, and keeping you on your feet safely.

We’re not just medics, we’re your care team. 👷‍♂️🎥
