Rescue Challenges create an environment for emergency service personnel to:
•Demonstrate their skills,•Practice and learn new techniques from each other,•Exchange ideas and information with fellow emergency personnel,•Be assessed against recognised performance criteria and by experienced, qualified assessors, and•Be provided with constructive feedback so they can learn and improve the standard of service they provide to their communities.
This will facilitate the production of a worldwide ‘Best Safe Practice’ standard, committed towards reducing road deaths through education, engineering and enforcement.
