A Posting From Ron Moore, Forum Moderator
The possibility of having a Vehicle Safety Data Sheet(VSDS) for every new vehicle is moving closer to reality. In June 1998, I published an article on this concept in Firehouse magazine. I wanted two locations on every vehicle where we could go to get info on where the airbags were, where the battery, fuel tank, seatbelt pretensioner, etc is located, or if there were any other items of safety concern that we should know about.
I want two standard locations that would remain the same regardless of what type of vehicle was involved. I prefer one outside location and one inside location.
VSDS is simply a diagram of the vehicle, smaller than a recipe card, that gives this info in one glance in plain English so everyone can understand at a crash scene.
Now, these next few messages provide you the update. There is also a form included in these posts that you can complete and submit to a special committee.
Thanks and I hope you participate in this survey. Your vote CAN make a big difference in us getting what we want.
