2.3 Using Additional Help

Operating the chair requires a minimum of two trained operators. Ferno
recommends:
Position a trained operator at each end of the chair;
●
Operators and helpers should face each other when transporting a
●
patient up or down stairs;
● A third trained person should serve as a spotter for the backward-
facing operator.
Follow all applicable local protocols for carrying chairs.
●
Trained operators maintain control of the chair and operate the controls.
The designated lead operator should direct all helpers. The charts on
this page show suggested placement for operators and helpers.
