Road Safety Training
Road Safety is integral to Lifeline Foundation’s activities since it pioneered the 4th E of Road Safety in India in 2002, creating India’s first highway accident helpline and also being the first to advocate a uniform emergency helpline number for the entire country and its highways.
Lifeline works closely with multiple stakeholders improving POST-ACCIDENT MANAGEMENT. Two of Lifeline’s key initiatives are training toll plaza incident management providers (ambulance personnel included) in on-scene care and care during transportation and schools, colleges and other institutions on highways; the other being TRAVEL ERGONOMIC trainings as part of human error related prevention of accidents.
The Foundation is now invested in Road Safety to address a never-before-attempted initiative supported by the Indian Oil Corporation – training highway stakeholders in HAZMAT INCIDENTS, accidents that involve chemical spillages.
Lifeline as undertaken another project Trauma Care and Hazmat Incident Management Workshops supported by HDFC Ergo and HDFC Life to establish a trained, coordinated and confident network of first responders around toll plazas capable of managing trauma cases and hazardous material incidents until advanced medical care becomes available. This is achieved through structured workshops that combine scientific principles, practical demonstrations and scenario-based simulations.
The training approach emphasises real-world applicability and inter-stakeholder coordination. Modules cover trauma care, first aid, triage, CPR, haemorrhage control, fracture stabilisation, burns and chemical injury management, safe identification and handling of hazardous materials and safe transportation of victims. Tabletop exercises and hands-on practice reinforce role clarity, decision-making and teamwork during high-pressure situations.
