Road Safety Training
Contributes to Sustainable Development Goals:
- SDG 3.6 – Halve the number of global deaths and injuries from road traffic accidents
Road traffic injuries remain a major public health challenge, particularly on highways and high-speed transport corridors where timely intervention can significantly improve outcomes. Lifeline Foundation’s Road Safety Training programmes aim to strengthen road user awareness, promote safer practices and build the capacity of first responders to effectively manage emergencies arising from road crashes and other highway incidents.
The programme combines awareness, practical skill development and simulation-based learning to prepare participants to prevent, recognise and respond to emergencies. Training includes first aid, CPR, trauma care, safe transportation of victims and Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) incident management.
Since 2022, Lifeline Foundation has trained 3,911 participants across Assam, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu. Participants have included industry personnel, drivers, toll plaza staff, highway patrol teams, police personnel, ambulance operators, fire and emergency services personnel and community members.
