Safety at disaster sites.
Safety at a disaster scene is a subject rarely considered by medical personnel when preparing for rescue work. As no one can predict accurately the nature of the hazards rescuers may have to face, a common attitude is to ignore the subject and trust to common sense and good judgment to cope with the situation when it arises.
