The capacity of each operator must be evaluated before the definition of the roles of rescuers in the use of the
device.
The operator should take place on each end of the stretcher.
Using the appropriate lifting technique, to avoid fatigue, operators must grasp the respective handles. Evaluate the use
of two or more operators according to the load on the device.
