Transportation Endorsement
Patient transportation and securing procedures are a vital part of basic first aid knowledge. It enables people to safely transport injured people to medical facilities while delivering adequate first aid.
Managers are strongly advised to encourage workers to develop basic disaster management and first aid skillsets. In case of a workplace accident, they should try to transport injured patients in private vehicles. This move can backfire if the patient’s condition worsens on the way. Moreover, transporting ill and injured patients in cars or vans also poses a risk of getting into personal liability issues.
The Metro Safety Training Transportation Endorsement is a highly valuable, one-day course, designed to help candidates learn all about safe patient handling. It aims to develop pragmatic skills focused on polishing patient management and transportation techniques. This knowledge can come in handy at car collision spots, workplace accidents, and other situations wherein people may require immediate first aid and relocation to a medical facility.
