Passenger Area inspection
14. Perform a general inspection of the cleanliness of the pas-
senger area, and a functional check of all emergency exits.
14.1 Open the Rear Emergency Door, checking it for proper
operation. Ensure that the audible alert sounds when
the door latch is opened. Close the door and ensure that
it latches securely and that the audible alarm goes off.
14.2 Slowly walk toward the front of the bus, inspecting the
condition of the interior as you go. Look for soiled or cut
seat upholstery. Grasp each seatback as you proceed, checking it for
secure mounting. Look for damaged or dirty windows. Watch for any
loose items such as cleaning supplies or tools.
14.3 Upon reaching the rearmost roof hatch, fully open it, ensuring proper
operation and that the audible alert sounds. Close it securely ensur-
ing that the audible alert stops.
14.4 Similarly open and close the two rear emergency exit windows, en-
suring proper operation and that the audible alert sounds when un-
latched and stops when fully closed and latched.
14.5 Proceed forward, checking condition of each seat, window, and floor
area between seats.
14.6 Upon reaching the frontmost roof hatches and emergency windows,
test them as described above.
