At this Training Boot Camp, EPISD trained with AMF Bruns’ recently launched automatic and self-tensioning Silver Series retractors.
The three-day training helped eliminate any doubts on how to properly secure a wheelchair on a school bus utilizing Protektor Series occupant restraints.
EPISD Transportation professionals were provided the tools to support and teach their teams proper safety techniques, which included hands-on training.
The key objectives of the training were:
- Overview of equipment
- Securing the wheelchair
- Securing the occupant with a different variety of occupant securements
- Understanding your vehicle floor anchorages
- WC 18 and WC 19 and understanding the regulation; identifying a WC 19 wheelchair
- Raising awareness about risks of not properly securing passengers
- Deboarding passengers
- Passenger sensitivity/etiquette
- Certification
Way to continue in your pursuit of safety for all of EPISD!
