Child Passenger Safety
Trainings
Safer provides
a variety of trainings related to child passenger safety. Some
of the programs currently offered include the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Standardized Child Passenger
Safety (CPS) Technical Training, Operation Kids, the New Mexico
Car Seat Distribution Training, and several brief presentations
tailored for groups of organizations. The NHTSA Standardized
CPS Technical Training is a 32-hour course for child passenger
safety advocates. Through funding from the Traffic Safety Bureau
and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Safer administers between five
and seven trainings each year. The Operation Kids workshop, conducted
by Safer, is a six-hour training intended for law enforcement
officers interested in child passenger safety. The New Mexico
Car Seat Distribution Program training is a core component of
the distribution program. This training provides the staff at
each distribution site with information on how to assist car
seat recipients in the proper use of their new car seat. The
goal of each of these trainings is to prevent and reduce childhood
injury and death related to misuse of car seats and other restraint
devices. |
