@Alison There are quite a few more references to AMEGA. It's not the most inspired acronym, but it covers the bases. And most importantly it already exists.

You really do have an amazing flair for finding these things!

Closest thing I could find - AMEGA Emergency First Aid At Work (1 day) - Warrington
This course is intended to provide a very basic first aid qualification for any person who may have to deal with an emergency situation. It should enable them to be able to assess and control a situation until more qualified help arrives. The subject matter covered will allow delegates to fulfil the three prime aims of first aid: to preserve life, to prevent the condition worsening and to promote the casualties recovery.
Course content includes:
• AMEGA action plan
http://www.csts.co.uk/open-courses/2015/3/6/emergency-first-...

THE FIVE POINT PLAN?
• 1. Assess the situation – First on Scene
• 2. Make the area safe
• 3. Emergency aid - Assess all casualties
• 4. Get help
• 5. The aftermath
• AMEGA

Localizator's reference makes me think I've been misinterpreting some of these terms. Judging from the icons for each of the four elements, they seem to mean:

1. Protect, or perhaps Prevent
2. Examine a person who has suffered an accident to see what's wrong with them
3. Call the emergency services
4. Provide first aid

Maybe PISA would work; at least it's pronounceable:
Protect, Investigate, Summon help, Assist

PIRR would work, but I wonder if we can find one that's a real English word and usable in polite company! It's not hugely important, but it would just be satisfying.

l'acronyme FR est PREFAS et non PEAS ! http://www.protegor.net/blog/2015/06/prefas-le-schema-recapi... …. il font donc partir de là et le crap est une matière qui n'a de place qu'au fond du couloir

As in taking the...

Or Protect, investigate, sound the alarm, save.

Elizabeth Tamblin Apr 15, 2016:

I've found a few examples of "Protect, Examine, Alert" and one of "protect, examine, raise the alert, provide help." I don't think there's a generally used acronym or initialism for this, though.

By the way, I think the order of the elements is important, as explained here:
