Course Description
Safety, job
performance, and
efficiency are at
the root of this
training program.
EMS personnel on
bikes can frequently
respond more quickly
than those in motor
vehicles, especially
in congested urban
areas and in crowds.
They are also
effective in
search-and-rescue
operations, such as
those resulting from
natural disasters.
Students learn basic
and emergency
bike-handling
skills, riding
single and in pairs
under various
traffic conditions,
ways to effectively
and safely pack
equipment,
techniques designed
to safely handle EMS
scenes, and personal
safety techniques.
This course is a
must for EMS and SAR
personnel seeking to
develop and improve
their riding skills
and their use of the
bike on the job.
