N2  - This editorial is concerned with the goal of training laymen to provide first aid to victims of traffic accidents. This goal has been reached only to a very limited extent according to a report published by the European Conference of Ministers of Transport (CEMT). The German Standard Organization (DIN) made a proposal, which is being undertaken by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), to work out a standard for an "European first-aid-kit." The International Association for Accident and Traffic Medicine (IAATM) is taking the CEMT report as a request to activate the IAATM regional and national organs in taking suitable steps for promoting first aid training and to make it mandatory to carry a first aid kit in all vehicles. The remainder of this editorial consists of a reprint of an earlier editorial entitled "First Aid at the Scene of an Accident" (Journal of Traffic Medicine, Vol. 7 No. 2, 1979).<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
