Emergency vehicle safety Workshop

In recent years, there has been increasing demand for emergency services due to a range of climate, health, and social factors. This results in greater exposure to emergency vehicle driving, and under conditions that may not have been seen previously. The purpose of this workshop is to share experiences and innovations for improving driver training for emergency and incident response workers. This will include the concepts of vulnerability and emotional regulation in emergency service driving. At the workshop, we will hear some examples of current research, and some recent practice ‘wins’. We will also discuss where the evidence gaps are, and explore new ways of working together. This workshop will provide a unique opportunity to identify opportunities for collaboration – both interagency and building research-practice networks.
