Wheelchair and Passenger Restraint Equipment Maintenance
Puwertec services have been developed with the co-operation and support of the leading manufacturers, who stress the need for regular equipment maintenance.
Do you have a system in place to formally maintain equipment ?
In the event of an accident can you provide documentation to the HSE detailing the maintenance or the equipment ?
Wheelchair Passport Scheme
Do you have a passport scheme in place ?
If you have a passport scheme, does it comply with the BSI National Wheelchair Code of Practice ?
Everyone acknowledges the benefits of the scheme, what will it take for you to implement the Passport Scheme ?
Some say they can't afford the scheme, others say they cant afford NOT to have the scheme !
Staff Training
Are your staff provided with formal manufacturer approved training ?
What do you know about your contractor staff training ?
Staff being shown how to use equipment by other staff isn't training, it's a recipe for disaster !
Midas training should complement basic manufacturer approved training as it's foundation to passenger safety.
Puwertec Observations
Puwertec staff have trained and assessed hundreds of staff across the country and are continually shocked at the lack of knowledge and understanding in terms of the application of equipment.
