5.11 Using Additional Help
Operating the transporter requires a minimum of two trained operators.
They may need additional help when working with heavy loads (patient
plus equipment).
●
Operators stand at the loading-end and control-end of the
transporter, maintain control of the transporter, operate the
controls, and direct all helpers.
●
Side helpers may need to walk sideways under some circumstances.
Follow local protocols.
●
Ferno recommends that helpers work in pairs to help maintain
transporter balance.
The chart below shows suggested placement for operators and helpers.
