NEW GUIDANCE ON ''MOTORSPORT FIRST AID''ISSUED BY THE MOTORSPORT SAFETY FUND

The Motorsport Safety Fund has produced a new
film: ''Motorsport First Aid''. It replaces one made
some years ago and incorporates important
changes in techniques recommended by the
European Resuscitation Council. Split into two
sections, it comprises a broad overview of the
subject, followed by a more detailed look at the
removal of helmets and HANS (Head and Neck
Support) devices. It also includes a sequence on
how to right a rolled car without injuring the crew.

The new film was launched at the Fund''s 2007
Watkins Lecture. Held at the recent Autosport
International Show at the NEC, Birmingham, it
was the tenth in the series and was presented to
great acclaim by Professor Sid Watkins - F1''s
celebrated safety pioneer - who made the very
first presentation and after whom the lecture is
named.

The film is available on DVD, together with four
other productions by the Fund: ''Motorsport
Marshalling'', ''Motorsport Rescue'', ''Motorsport
Firefighting'' and ''It Could Happen To You''. The
latter gives advice on personal preparation and
equipment to help newcomers take up
motorsport in safety.

The 5-in-1 DVD is available for £10, including post
and packing, from the Motorsport Safety Fund,
PO Box 200, Sevenoaks, TN15 8WZ.
