Your and our safety
Its probably the last thing you want to think about, but accidents can always happen. Of course you want to return home safely. For optimal safety for yourself and for others, please read this page.
What do we do to guaranty your safety?- The campsite owner can be reached 24hours a day using the intercom located at the entrance of the campsite. He is trained in the perform of first aid.
- In the reception there is an AED (Automated External Defibrillator). There is always personal available trained in the use of the machine.
- In the reception there is a first aid kit, a fire extinguisher and a wheelchair.
What can you do to guaranty the safety of yourself and the others
- Het grootste gevaar van een caravan of een tent is dat als er brand is, er weinig aan gedaan kan worden om deze te redden. Vandaar dat open vuur (vuurkorf) bij ons op de camping verboden is. Wel is het toegestaan om te barbecuen, op voorwaarde dat u een emmer water erbij zet om in geval van nood het vuur te blussen.
- In het buitenland zijn brandblussers in caravans en campers verplicht. In Nederland is het sinds 2007 verplicht om in uw camper een brandblusser te hebben, voor caravans wordt dit aangeraden.
- Houd u aan de maximaal snelheid van 5 km/uur op het campingterrein.
- Laat uw caravan en camper regelmatig controleren, zodat u zeker weet dat alle electra voorzieningen goed zijn aangesloten en dat bijvoorbeeld uw gasslang nog in orde is.
- Wij hebben een CEE aansluiting op de camping voor electra. Alleen geaarde kabels zijn toegestaan.
- Always follow the instructions of staff and emergency response teams
Automated external defilbrillator
In the Netherlands (17 milion people) every hour 2 people die because of an heart attack. Chances to safe someone's life rises with 10% a minute by using an AED.
A heart attack occurs when blood flow to a section of heart muscle becomes blocked. If the flow of blood isn’t restored quickly, the section of heart muscle becomes damaged from lack of oxygen and begins to die.
The most common heart attack signs and symptoms are:
- Chest discomfort or pain—uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center of the chest that can be mild or strong. This discomfort or pain lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back.
- Upper body discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or stomach.
- Shortness of breath may occur with or before chest discomfort.
- Other signs include nausea (feeling sick to your stomach), vomiting, lightheadedness or fainting, or breaking out in a cold sweat.
Whats is an AED?
Automated External Defibrillators are specialized medical devices designed to recognize and treat certain lethal heart rhythms in the setting of a cardiac arrest. AEDs deliver an electrical shock to persons in ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia. AEDs provide auditory and visual prompts to assist first responders in treating a cardiac arrest. AEDs have been shown to decrease mortality when used by trained persons and used in conjunction with cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
How does an AED work?
An AED is programmed to tell rescuers exactly what to do using voice and visual prompts. Rescuers attach adhesive electrode pads to the person's chest. Through these electrodes, the AED is designed to automatically analyze the electrical activity of the heart to determine if a "shockable" rhythm is present. An AED is so easy to use even untrained school children can operate one quickly and correctly.
With voice prompts and pictures the AED guides rescuers through the resuscitation process, advising when to give CPR. If the AED determines the person's heart needs a shock, it tells rescuers to stand back so a shock can be safely given through the adhesive electrode pads affixed to the person's chest. (Note: Some AED models will tell the user to push a button to shock, and others will provide it automatically after giving rescuers an "all clear" warning.)
The delivery of an electrical shock to a heart experiencing SCA briefly stops all electrical activity in the heart. This brief break from the previous electrical chaos can be enough for the heart to restart with a normal rhythm.
Not everyone can be saved from SCA, even with defibrillation. But early defibrillation, especially when delivered within three to five minutes of a person's collapse from SCA, does provide the best chance for survival.
It's that simple.
What is the Cardiac Chain of Survival?
The Cardiac Chain of Survival is a series of four critical steps. All four steps of the chain must be present to help ensure survival from sudden cardiac arrest. The four steps are:
- Step one: Early access to care (calling 911 or another emergency number)
- Step two: Early cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)
- Step three: Early defibrillation
- Step four: Early advanced cardiac life support as needed
The third step, delivering an electrical shock to the heart, which is known as defibrillation, is recognized as the most critical step in restoring cardiac rhythm and resuscitating a victim of SCA.
