Protecting Our Protectors – World Day for Safety and Health at Work
India’s frontline forest staff risk life and limb every day as they set out for their patrols. Confronting poachers, loggers and illegal fishers, and being attacked or bitten by wild animals, are all everyday possibilities. Their injuries range from fractures and snake bites to bullet wounds.
WCT’s Trauma Management training for frontline forest staff equips them with the necessary skills to deal with trauma situations, and is aimed at reducing injuries and saving lives.
