# Improving EMS Worker and Patient Safety Through Crash Testing

This video highlights the work of NIOSH and its many industry and government partners to improve worker and patient safety when in the patient compartment of a moving ambulance. The partners have written a family of new crash standards specifically focused on components unique to the ambulance environment. The goal of this work was to make the back of an ambulance as safe as an automobile so that workers can be as safe on their job as they are getting to their job.
