Red Cross Proposes Compulsory First Aid Training For Drivers
Public Service Vehicle (PSV) drivers, and new drivers should undergo basic first aid training, suggests a Fiji Red Cross (FRC) representative.
Its Northern Division manager Mitieli Duvuloco said this after an accident in Tabia, Labasa on Tuesday.
Mr Duvuloco, who has eight years of first aid responder’s experience, assisted passengers and a driver after a bus, a truck and a government vehicle were involved in the accident.
