SAFETY ADVICE FROM EMS (SAFE) - A GUIDE TO INJURY PREVENTION. TRAFFIC SAFETY LESSON PLANS FOR EMS, FIRE AND RESCUE PERSONNEL
This manual was created using some of the latest traffic safety information and injury data. This information was then enhanced with EMS-specific references. During development, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) traffic safety experts, Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers and EMS traffic safety and injury prevention organizations nationwide reviewed the manual. The lesson plans were pilot tested by EMS providers in presentations to a variety of audiences. The manual is designed for out-of-hospital and hospital-based EMS providers of all levels. It can be used in presentations for all types of settings and groups. From talks at a preschool, to a senior citizen center and everything between, the SAFE manual offers: a year-round assortment of presentation topics; a "user-friendly" traffic safety resource specifically designed for EMS providers; flexible lesson plans easily tailored to specific audiences and time frames; a comprehensive package of lesson plans, overheads, handouts and video clips; the latest data and injury prevention strategies; ideas for additional EMS-based traffic safety programs; and a comprehensive listing of resources, organizations and contacts.
