Definition of Ambulance Safety

AMBULANCE SAFETY
Safety of base chassis – resistence
against impacts(accidents).
Includes all damages of the chassis, behaviour of the vehicle after
an accident/impact

Manufacturer of chassis provides documentation about crash tests,

homologation, etc.

Ambulance builder is not allowed to amend basic chassis structure

Definition of Ambulance Safety

AMBULANCE SAFETY
Safety of ambulance interior
All damages of the ambulance interior which can pose a
potential threat to the safety of passengers and patients.

Ambulance builder has to provide safe interior components

Ambulance builder has to provide necessary reenforcement

structures

Ambulance provider(e.g. hospital) has to train and instruct staff

to follow safety guidelines
Potential threats in an Ambulance

Interior material

Fire retundant ?

Cracking under application of forces ?

Fully disinfectable ?

Recyclable ?

Health risks during production/processing/dumping?

Potential threats in an Ambulance

AMBULANCE SAFETY
Interior devices
Cabinets – built and fixed properly?
Seats – test documentation?
Flooring/anchoring devices – rails & tracks, holding brackets?
Medical devices – suitable brackets & holding devices, fixed
properly?

Stretcher & stretcher support – test documentation/fixation?

Medical bags, accessories, patient luggage, bins,
personal items – stored and fixed properly and safe?
What can happen?

AMBULANCE SAFETY
MOST SERIOUS AND FATAL INJURIES IN AMBULANCES
ARE CAUSED BY TRAVELING ITEMS INSIDE THE CAR

ALL LOOSE OR NOT PROPERLY FIXED ITEMS WILL

BECOME PROJECTILES IN CASE OF AN IMPACT

UNSUITABLE SEATS OR SEAT LAYOUT ARE A HIGH RISK

BOTH FOR PASSENGERS/PATIENTS & PARAMEDICS

CRACKING MATERIAL POSES A HIGH THREAT AND

CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES

What can we do to enhance safety?

AMBULANCE SAFETY
Perform structural work according to existing corpus of legislation
and normatives(e.g. EN 1789)

Refuse any compromises regarding safety

Set clear and binding guidelines for handling the ambulance, its
equipment and the patient

Avoid subsequent amendments of the interior which could have

an affect on safety

Store and fix all equipment and accessories properly as indicated

What can we do to enhance safety?

AMBULANCE SAFETY
Always use seat belts both for patient and staff

Avoid transversal layout of seats or seat benches as the seat

belt can‘t be fixed properly

Trust only proven products & quality
