7. Using additional help 

Operating the chair requires a minimum of two trained operators. Ferno recommends positioning a trained 
operator at each end of the chair, that operators and helpers face each other when transporting a patient up 
or  down  stairs,  and  that  a  third  trained  person  “spot”  for  the  lead  operator.  Follow  all  applicable  local 
protocols for carrying chairs. 

The trained operators should maintain control of the chair and operate the controls, and the designated lead 
operator should direct all helpers. The charts below show suggested placement for operators and helpers.
