Re: Call for Advice (And Blatant Whoring)
by Hol
Our new vehicles were fitted with stretcher clamps that prevent the stretcher from moving and consequently possibly killing someone of the vehicle rolls and is guaranteed up to a certain amount of Gs (not sure what). There is no point in doing this if pateints and staff are bouncing around in the back crashing into cupboards, kit and each other because they are not strapped in. Our seats have 3 point seat belts, one also has a kiddy harness, and the stretchers have lap and leg belts. One of our vehicles was involved in an RTA last week, a ?drunk driver ran a red light and went into the side of the vehicle putting a big hole in it. There was a paramedic in the back looking after an old dear with #NOF. If she hadn't been strapped in, she might have been in a worse state than she was. Any use to you?
