Ebook - Informational Flyer for School Bus Transport of Children PSP

This two-part flyer from the PSP emphasizes the importance of using seat belts, especially for children, who are the most vulnerable road users. It highlights that road accidents are the leading cause of death in children under 10, and that a collision at 50 Km/h can be fatal without proper protection. It underscores the necessity of using mandatory safety accessories, such as child safety seats and booster seats, adjusted to the child/youth's height, for adequate protection.

It explains Law 13/2006, which defines the rules for the collective transport of children and youth up to 16 years of age. The law applies to all cases of collective transport of children and youth in educational activities, study visits, and other similar activities. The use of seat belts, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits on buses is mandatory. The flyer also addresses the mandatory presence of supervisors in collective transport, especially in heavy vehicles.

The leaflet offers advice on what should be required in terms of safety in the collective transport of children, including verifying the identity of supervisors and compliance with legal safety requirements.
