I'd agree, I did a four day St Johns ambulance first aid course to become a first aider in my workplace. over and over it was drummed into us that you assess the situation and make sure you are safe, there's no point just becoming another part of the problem. Now that was only a couple of years ago so it's still very much part of current training for other organisations I would imagine
