Doha: Hamad International Training Centre (HITC) has carried out its eleventh Child Passenger Safety (CPS) technician training course with the support of Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Company.
The training course teaches participants to select the right car seat according to the age, weight and height of a child so they are able to help parents and caregivers keep their children safe in motor vehicles, using appropriate car seats and restraints.
“It is the first time we have worked with Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Company, and are pleased that dealerships are taking the initiative when it comes to safety,” Dr Khalid Abdulnoor Saifeldeen, Director of Hamad International Training Center, said.
“It is important to understand that injuries suffered by children in car-related accidents are usually preventable. Car seats for children should be used until the child reaches the correct weight and height to safely use a normal car seat belt system designed for adults,” Dr Abdulnoor added.
Hisham Saleh Al Mana, Chairman and Managing Director of the Saleh Al Hamad Al Mana Company said: “We are always keen to support Hamad Medical Corporation in its quest to keep children safe when they are in a vehicle.”
