Non-ambulatory persons
(persons in wheelchairs):
There are many
considerations when moving a person in a wheelchair. Wheelchairs have movable
parts; some are not designed to withstand the stress of lifting. You may have
to remove the chair batteries. Life-support equipment may be attached. Lifting
a person with minimal ability to move may be dangerous to their well being.
Always consult with the person in the chair regarding:
1. The number of people
necessary for assistance
2. Ways of being removed
from the wheelchair
3. Whether a seat
cushion or pad should be brought along if he/she is removed from the chair
4. Whether to extend or bend
extremities when lifting because of pain, catheter, leg bags, prosthesis,
braces, etc.
5. Being carried forward
or backward on a flight of stairs.
6. The type of
assistance necessary after evacuation.Map

EVACUATION OF DISABLED PERSONS
Visually impaired
persons: Tell
the person the nature of
the emergency and offer to guide him/her to the nearest emergency exit. Have
the person take your elbow and escort him/her.
Hearing-impaired
persons: To
warn an individual get the person's attention with a gesture or a light tap on the arm or shoulder, and
either write a note telling what the emergency is and the nearest evacuation route, or gesture to indicate that
the person should come with you. An example of a note: "Fire—go out the back door, turn right and go down. Now!"
To warn a group, get the
group's attention by flashing the room lights on and off—then gesture to indicate
that the group should come with you. If there is a chalkboard on which you can
write a note that all can see, use it.
Persons using crutches,
canes or walkers: Carrying options include using a two-person, locked-arm position or having
the person sit in a sturdy chair, preferably one with arms.
