Ramp Safety
Wheelchair passengers and attendants (when
applicable), must use basic common sense and
good judgment regarding ramp safety. Each wheel-
chair passenger has a unique set of physical abili-
ties combined with the physical characteristics of his
or her wheelchair that dictate the method in which
he or she will enter and exit the Rampvan. Conse-
quently, the procedures for safe operation outlined
in this manual are general in nature. Wheelchair at-
tendants should be instructed on any special needs
and/or procedures required for safe transport of
wheelchair passengers.

Never board a Rampvan ramp if you or your at-
tendant are intoxicated. The wheelchair should be
positioned in the center of the ramp at all times. You
must be able to clearly view the ramp whenever
boarding and exiting the vehicle.
