The principle of first aid is immediate actions, but it is important that quick action does not cause panic.
Any action taken needs to be careful and the first aider must remain calm at all times. It is equally important to

others - protect the scene after understanding risk, and think before you act (there may be gas - risk of explosion;
electricity- the pool of water round the faulty washing machine may be live; fire - opening a hot door may be the
last thing you do; assault - the assailant with knife or gun may be behind the door awaiting their next victim or a
hostage; blood- avoid unnecessary contact with fluids by wearing gloves).
