Emergency Medical Services Electric Vehicle Safety Training

Many times Emergency Medical Services personnel are the first to arrive at the scene of an automobile incident. Their knowledge of alternative fuel vehicles, how they work, and how to safely assist vehicle occupants can be a critical need to keep both EMS professionals and the people they pledge to protect safe. AFV Educate's Emergency Medical Services Electric Vehicle training does just that, helping these first responders do their jobs correctly and safely.

The growth of electric vehicles is increasing, putting additional pressure on responders to understand their complexities and the additional SOPs they need to adopt to assure "everyone goes home safe." This course will address the needs of EMS personnel on understanding how the vehicles operate, their key components, and how to correctly identify them at the scene of an accident.

Taught by a first responder instructor, the participants will be able to:
  - Understand basic electrical theory, both Alternating Current and Direct Current
  - Summarize how electric and hybrid electric vehicles operate
  - Describe the different types of electrified vehicles
  - Outline electric vehicle safety systems
  - Categorize electric vehicle charging appliances and their safety systems
