Austin, president of the Ontario Council of St. John said today. In a brief to the Ontario Select Committee on Highway Safety, Mr. Austin stated: "the human costs in terms of death or injury on our highways and streets would also be re- duced—a far more important objective for your consider- ation." He pointed out that two research studies had been con- ducted by St. John Ambulance over five years in Orillia, Cambridge and Guelph, in which 10,000 people had been trained in Safety -Oriented First Aid: In compiling and analyz- ing the results, York Univer- sity "confirmed that the First Aid trained • individual has undergone a change in attitude towards safety, making him more alert to hazard and recep- tive to great impact of messages and education," he said. "The research conclusively showed a reduction in accident costs of up to 30 percent for those persons who had complet- ed the eight-hour safety - oriented First Aid training course when compared to simil- ar persons not so trained," Mr. Austin said. Annual costs of highway accidents in Ontario are more than $460,000,000, SNIDER'S SET MER S LL -OUT Now In Full Swing indicating the hundred million dollar saving. The St, John Ambulance brief recommends that all school bus drivers required to hold a valid St, John Ambulance Emergency First Aid Certifi- cate, and that over a period of time this same training be made compulsory for city bus drivers, transit operators, taxi drivers and operators of commercial freight carriers. The 10,000 St. John Ambulance volunteers in Ontario were prepared to do the necessary training, Mr. Austin, also a volunteer, said. They trained more than 70,000 people last year. The final recommendation called for legislation requir- ing private drivers to attend a short two to three hour safety - oriented course on the basics of St. John Ambulance First Aid as a prerequisite to ob- taining a driver's license.
