RAMP PASSENGER SAFETY
method and orientation of entering and exiting based
on the physical characteristics of their personal
wheelchair and his or her physical capabilities to
maintain stability while the wheelchair is in motion on
the ramp.
Wheelchair Attendants: When assisting a wheel-
chair occupant, remember to use good body me-
chanics. When the wheelchair is on the ramp, the
attendant must grasp the push handles (or other)
securely. Detachable wheelchair parts such as arms
or leg rests must never be used for hand holds or lift-
ing supports. Doing so could result in the detachable
parts being inadvertently detached from the wheel-
chair resulting in possible injury to the wheelchair
occupant and/or the attendant.
Wheelchair Orientation and Securement During
Transport: The wheelchair and occupant must face
the front of the vehicle and must be secured using
the Forward-Facing Wheelchair Tiedown and Oc-
cupant Restraint System when riding in the vehicle.
