This annual event is a collaborative effort between Arrive Alive, the Ministry of Works and Transport and Woodside Energy as title sponsor. The objective is to recognize and honor the hard-working First Responders who have shown a strong commitment to saving lives on the nation’s roads. This year marks the 10th anniversary of this special occasion. It will be held on the 5th June 2024.
This year’s ceremony is made possible thanks to the generous sponsorship of Woodside Energy, who has demonstrated its commitment to the cause of road safety through ongoing support of initiatives such as this and the annual World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. We are grateful for their continued support in helping us raise awareness and promote safer road use habits.
Why is this event important?
First Responders play a valuable role in the rescue of road traffic collision victims. They work tirelessly, knowing that every second counts. This type of work can take an emotional and physical toll on them, and their contribution often goes unnoticed.
Therefore, this initiative serves to:
• Recognize the efforts of those who excel in carrying out their commission.
• Motivate them to continue in this life saving work.
• Provide an opportunity for Decision makers within governmental agencies to highlight specific plans that can contribute to safer road systems.
