Working Conditions

The EMT must be capable of performing all listed duties throughout their assigned shift. EMTs must be able to lift and move patients and equipment in varied circumstances. The EMT must be physically capable of safely:

  • Driving an emergency vehicle in compliance with all applicable statutes and regulations, in all lighting and weather conditions.
  • Lifting a fully loaded ambulance stretcher (stretcher/patient/equipment/supplies) weighing at least three hundred and fifty (350) pounds from ground level to ambulance patient compartment level, holding at that height for a minimum of sixty (60) seconds, and then safely and gently placing the stretcher in ambulance (and the reverse, lowering the stretcher to the ground,) with the assistance of one partner of equal strength and agility.
  • Carrying half of the required EMS equipment (approximately 50 lbs.) from the vehicle to the patient (distances of up to 1/2 mile in certain circumstances) without assistance.
  • Successfully performing fine motor skills in a moving ambulance without an undue number of attempts and without causing injury or pain to patients (e.g., placement of an oral airway).
  • Successfully visualizing small objects in poor lighting in a confined space, (e.g., visualizing a patient's pupils during a patient assessment in a moving ambulance).
  • Walking extended distances without difficulty, without rest, while carrying heavy equipment (e.g., transferring a patient from an ambulance to a hospital emergency department or inpatient unit).
  • Hearing faint noises in an uncontrolled environment (e.g., auscultating a patient's blood pressure in a moving ambulance).
  • Writing in the English language using various methods of communication (e.g., email, text messaging, patient care reporting software, pen and paper) so that to the average reader it accurately conveys the thoughts expressed and the situations and conditions encountered and experienced. Hand written communication must be legible.
  • Verbally communicating in the English language via the spoken word in an expeditious and clear manner with sufficient volume so that said communication accurately conveys the thoughts expressed to an average listener in a loud environment (e.g., obtaining directions from a dispatch agency via a spoken conversation over conventional wireless communications technology, or communicating with a patient or other provider while in a moving ambulance).
