Saver Safe Chair
4. Using Additional Help
Ferno recommends that at least two operators are present when the Chair
is used for evacuating patients over 80Kg.
Circumstance such as access, weather conditions or patient weight may
require additional help when operating on stairs; this must be assessed at
the time.
1. When two operators are used to evacuate a patient
both operators should hold the chair from the rear
and support the weight of the patient and the Chair as
the chair is carefully guided down the stairs following
the procedures in section 3.
