Using the Stretcher
5.7 Additional Help
Two trained and qualified operators are required for the use of the stretcher. Operators may need assistance to lift heavy adult
patients.
The trained operators must stand at the head and foot end of the stretcher, they must always maintain control of the
●
stretcher and direct their assistants.
The illustrations below show the positioning of operators and helpers. It is very important that the operators are always opposite
each other to maintain eye contact.
WARNINGS
Casual assistants may cause damage and/or
physical harm, or injure themselves. Do not allow
casual helpers to perform stretcher preparation
operations. Be extremely careful during all user
operations.
