One often overlooked element of the Safe System is post-crash care. This is how quickly and effectively injured parties receive medical attention after a crash event. The speed and quality of care can make a significant difference in reducing the severity of injuries.
We frequently refer to the Golden Hour, the critical first hour after an incident, during which prompt medical intervention can significantly improve outcomes and reduce injury severity.
In a Safe System Assessment, one of the key qualitative questions we ask is: How efficiently and effectively does post-crash care operate in this area? This often reveals opportunities for system-wide improvements that enhance overall road safety.
