From a
survey carried out regarding the high number of road
accidents in the country, MVFRA noticed that most of the
on-lookers lacked knowledge and skill in helping the
accident victim.
There are
some who are afraid to help for fear they may be held responsible
should things go wrong, while there are some who could not be
bothered.
Therefore MVFRA
initiated the Road Rescuers Riders Programme. This 4-hour programme
is targeted mainly at motorcyclists as they are usually the first to
appear at the scene but yet do nothing to help.
The participants are taught how to apply first
aid and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) techniques. They are
also taught how to use simple items found on the victim to be used
as first-aid e.g. a T-shirt that can be used as a sling to support a
broken arm, a pair of sneakers can be used to support an injured
neck and an umbrella can be used as a support for a broken leg.
At the end of the training session,
participants are given a certificate and an identification document
so that they can be identified as the ones who have undergone some
basic training in road rescue. This training session is offered free
to the public as a community service.
