The EMS Safety Foundation's iRescU Project partnership with the American Red Cross, the American Heart Association and Denver Health for the Denver AED Scavenger Hunt Contest has been a great success as a model social media driven city wide program to enhance regional AED databases! Check out and share this great YouTube video from the Denver Team http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgpMD4ZpGyE
Winners for the iRescU spring scavenger hunt have been announced, see www.iRescU.info.

4. White House Public Safety Data Initiatives
The EMS Safety Foundation was most honored to be invited by Todd Park, the USA CTO of Information and Technology, to participate in the White House's first Public Safety Data Jam, in DC last month, which was held during National Transportation week Safety Data Initiatives. It was a great privilege and incredible opportunity, we were the only medical and public health participants. .

5. Health Data Palooza, DC update
The Health Data Initiative - or Health Data Palooza (#healthdata) is an extraordinary initiative, the brainchild of the amazing Todd Park CTO of the USA. There is much that EMS can benefit from this initiative and bring to the table.

An overview of key elements of the NFPA 1917 ambulance standard initiative and developments from the recent June 13th NFPA 1917 meeting. NFPA 1917 is to be issued August 9th, and effective August 29th and applicable to vehicles contracted for by January 1st, 2013.
See handout for glimpse of aspects of interest. There is to be an EMS Safety Foundation special webinar on the NFPA 1917 in mid August immediately after the document is issued.
http://www.nfpa.org/AboutTheCodes/AboutTheCodes.asp?docnum=1917&tab=docinfo#
The recommendation on June 13th by the NFPA general expert that the entire report be returned, failed. http://www.nfpa.org/Assets/files/AboutTheCodes/1917/A2012_FloorAction_Final.pdf
8. EMS Safety Culture meeting
The interest in EMS safety is spreading throughout the EMS Community. The increasing focus on EMS Safety issues is very promising to see. The project to produce a document on EMS Safety Culture by ACEP and NHTSA had another meeting in DC - a 98 page draft document is being revised - make sure you get your comments in http://www.emscultureofsafety.org this draft is still in need of major and substantive revision.
9. New EMS.gov web site
The recent NEMSAC meeting launched the revamped www.EMS.gov web site. Do take a look at it, there is much information across many aspects of EMS.
10. New info for ANSI- Z.15 Fleet Standard
Newly Revised ANSI/ASSE Z15.1-2012 Standard is now available. This newly revised standard, " Safe Practices for Motor Vehicle Operations" sets forth practices for the safe operation of motor vehicles owned or operated by organizations.
These practices are designed for use by those having the responsibility for the administration and operation of motor vehicles as a part of organizational operations.
Safety professionals have historically used the Z15.1-2012 standard as a general minimum guideline to address safe operations of motor vehicles for a way variety of work environments.
Topics covered in the standard include:
o Definitions
o Management, leadership and administration
o Operational environment
o Driver considerations
o Vehicle considerations
o Incident reporting and analysis
Here is a link for a Tech Brief with detailed information about the revised Z15.1 standard -
The revised - Z.15 standard can be purchased from ASSE here. The cost is $54 for ASSE members and $74 otherwise.
It is the ONLY item that I strongly encourage EVERY service to purchase!
11. National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) Public Safety Sector Council meeting
The 2012 NORA Public Safety Sector Council meeting was held in DC, May 15th. I was honored to be invited to present some of the cutting edge work being done by the EMS Safety Foundation, and also a synopsis of the TRB EMS Safety Summit. There is much opportunity for EMS on the NORA platform. This is a great group which brings together Police, Fire and EMS with a focus on Occupational Safety - standby for the handout for an NFPA 1917 Update that was presented by an AMD ambulance manufacturer who presented there, a synopsis will be presented on the webinar tomorrow.
It is most valuable forum for EMS Safety. Here is their website - it is about to be updated.
