What are the EV battery fire risks for ambulance officers and paramedics? During an awesome interactive online training session with Ambulance Victoria, Dan and I asked participants to give us their concerns and questions about #ev and #lithiumionbattery fires. These included: - What's the risk to paramedics from a patient who's been exposed to the vapour cloud from thermal runaway, where it might still be on their clothes, skin or in their hair? - Could the use of water on burns caused by #thermalrunaway cause any additional challenges? ie. are there chemicals present that could make the burn worse? - If vapour cloud can sometimes be invisible to the naked eye, how do we know if we're too close? Super interested to hear others experiences / comments / questions, as we'll throw them all into the mix for our ambulance colleagues. Also, do any LinkedIn ambo colleagues have EV collision / battery fire SOPs they're able to share? #electricvehicles #evbatteryfire #thermalrunaway #paramedics #ambulance

Why do seniors need driver's education? Many of the injured in car accidents will be innocent victims: children and seniors. For the drivers who survive, there are consequences. The guilt and the pain of knowing they've hurt others. The high cost of medical treatment and auto repairs. The increased cost of insurance rates. Traffic citations. Lost licenses. A little carelessness, a moment of distraction, a bit of impatience, or just a simple miscalculation can lead to creating a car accident. Our driver improvement program is designed especially for seniors. This opportunity allows seniors to refresh their driving techniques relative to the modern automobile. Seniors will then develop positive driving attitudes and regain lost confidence. #DriversTraining #SeniorDriver Capuchino Therapy Group DRIVERS TRAINING 3601 Marconi Avenue, Sacramento, Ca 95821 (916) 481-1300 https://lnkd.in/gPAeX25

In #Ontario, #accident #benefits under the Statutory Accident Benefits Schedule (SABS) provide NO-FAULT benefits to anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident, regardless of WHO is at fault. An #interesting #fact is that these #benefits can cover a wide range of needs, including: • #income replacement • #medical and #rehabilitation expenses • #attendant care • #compensation for non-earners who are unable to carry on a normal life due to their injuries. This comprehensive coverage ensures that #victims have support for various aspects of recovery and daily living, promoting a more holistic approach to post-accident care. If you’ve been #injured in a #car accident in the last 2 years and would like to be informed on how to be compensated, contact our office today: ECHEVERRIA LEGAL SERVICES T: 647-575-1275 E: carlos@echeverrialegalservices

Road accidents cost the NHS approximately £470 million every year. In 2023 alone, 162,872 people were involved in road accidents, with 29,429 reported dead or seriously injured.* Driver First Assist estimates that training a cohort of 100,000 drivers as first responders could significantly reduce the annual total of RTC fatalities. DFA’s mission is to train a group of drivers sufficiently representative of the driving population, aiming to achieve a substantial reduction in RTC fatalities for the first time in over a decade.
