NAEMT's EMS Vehicle Operator Safety (EVOS) course addresses the knowledge gap that leads to injuries and deaths and focuses on the specific behaviors that need to be changed to create a culture of safe driving. Drawing on current research, EVOS features case studies and analyses of collisions and challenges EMS practitioners to reconsider their preconceptions about safe vehicle operations. Instructors can easily incorporate local laws, rules, and policies into the curriculum. It includes driving skills, technological aids, and making driving safety a priority; the legal aspects of EMS vehicle operation; preparedness; emergency response; crash prevention; vehicle maintenance; and simulation training.
