Developed by FSUE NAMI, they offer different scenarios from car damage, to fires and drownings.
GOSTs also provide special markings that tell rescuers what element they are dealing with, be it an electric car battery or a hydrogen car tank. That is, all elements of the car can be marked. But this will not be a new obligation for manufacturers.
In addition to color marking, signs can be applied that indicate a hazard to human health or the environment and how best to extinguish a fire: with water, wet or dry foam, powder.
In addition, you can specify the recommended areas for opening and cutting the car body. But all these innovations cause some concern among rescuers.
“I’m afraid this information just distracts from the work, there’s little practical use of it,” Andrey Tumanov, a first-class rescuer of the Centrospas detachment of the Russian Emergency Department, told Kommersant. – As a rule, all professional rescuers have a higher technical education and know well how a car works. There are universal, decades-old methods of opening vehicles, regardless of whether there is a gasoline engine or an electric one. The only thing that can really threaten the victim, who is trapped in a crumpled car, is the involuntary deployment of an airbag. To prevent operation, we have long used a special protective cover on the handlebars.
Autopsy tips may prompt unprepared people to get a person into a car before rescuers arrive. But this should not be done because in this case the victim runs the risk of additional injuries. For example, said airbag may operate.
