POSITIONING THE OCCUPANT

 

WARNINGS: 

Securing wheelchair accessories: 

To reduce the risk of injury to passengers, remove lap trays that have not

been specifically designed for transport safety and secure separately inside

the vehicle or affix lap tray securely to the wheelchair, as far away as

possible from the occupant, with a shock-absorbing material placed in

between the lap tray and the occupant.

All auxiliary equipment must be firmly secured to the wheelchair or removed

and stowed in a secure location during transport to reduce the risk of injury.

If auxiliary equipment cannot be removed (such as with respirators and IV

supports), the equipment must be placed as far away as possible from the

occupant  and  wrapped  in  a  shock-absorbing  material.  Make  sure  the

protective packaging material conforms to the FMVSS201 requirements.

Adjusting the wheelchair: 

During transportation, ensure the back angle is adjusted at no more than 30

degrees to the vertical to reduce the risk of injury to the occupant.

If wheelchair is equipped with angle-adjustable seating, the seat angle must

be set at 10-degrees.

Neck 

and head 

protection: 

Make sure the occupant is properly positioned in the wheelchair to protect

their neck 

and their head 

in the event of a collision.

The use of a headrest is recommended onboard

 

adapted transport to reduce

the risk of neck 

and head 

injur

ies

 in the event of a collision.
