SAFETY!

Ambulance New Brunswick ensures your safety with:

Driver Safety Programs

Ambulance New Brunswick received national and international recognition for its Driver Safety Program in 2009 and 2010.

Ambulance Cleanliness

Ambulance New Brunswick has put in place a comprehensive decontamination program ensuring the safety of all occupants. This program goes above and beyond the regular cleaning of the ambulance and its equipment, which is done by the paramedics after each call.

Ambulance Preventative Maintenance

Our ambulances and aircraft are subject to a rigorous preventative maintenance program by our vehicle technicians which includes a thorough mechanical safety inspection and basic or advanced maintenance on a regular basis.

Furthermore, any mechanical deficiencies found by staff and/or pilots are addressed immediately.

Continuous Medical Education

ANB's paramedics, emergency medical dispatchers and flight nurses are subject to Continuous Medical Education sessions in order to maintain a high level of proficiency.
