Detailed Description

Road traffic accidents (RTAs) are regarded as one of the leading causes of grave injuries and fatalities in the world. How can the common public help out in taking immediate action based on the injuries? The overall aim is to enable the common public with information about emergency response care, particularly the bystander’s role within that, so that they can help out the victim during a road accident. The approach eventually shifted from having an intervention at the accident scene to incorporating it at the school level. The final output was a course design system about the bystander’s role in post-crash care, which included performing practical exercise and mock drills with a road accident situation and procedures to follow after that. It is a hybrid model of theoretical content and hands-on activities. It will be introduced in the school curriculum, with the theory parts taught along with the Road Safety chapter in NCERT. These exercises can be conducted in the classroom itself with the teacher being your guide and a manual with all the information and instructions about Emergency Response Care in Road Accidents.
