PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE FIRE/EMS EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION & RELATED SERVICES <br />CITY OF SANTA ANA 9 <br />ITEM 4: DRIVER TRAINING <br />Care Ambulance uses the National Safety Council, Coaching the Emergency Vehicle Operator <br />(CEVO) course for all drivers' training. The highly interactive, six (6) hour program adapts <br />defensive driving techniques to the unique nature of ambulance work. The course promotes <br />critical thinking during high-pressure driving situations and offers defensive driving strategies to <br />avoid collisions. The course features lecture and videos with real-life driver simulations. <br />Care's training program exceeds the standards established for the ambulance industry by the <br />National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Department of Transportation <br />(NHTSA DOT); the National Commission on the Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS); the <br />California State Department of Motor Vehicles; and the California Highway Patrol. <br />Pre -Employment Screening <br />Care's risk management approach to driving safety begins with the insistence on high-caliber <br />personnel. Care Ambulance requires all ambulance personnel to possess a valid California <br />Driver's License, with all required certifications, and to remain compliant with all provisions of <br />the California Vehicle Code. Care Ambulance performs an extensive background check of all <br />ambulance applicants and ensures that no Care Ambulance drivers have been convicted of or <br />have pled nolo contender to any crime involving a stolen vehicle, stolen property, violence, <br />drugs or moral turpitude, fraud or misdemeanor, or felony driving under the influence of <br />alcohol or drugs. <br />Driver Training Program <br />The Care Ambulance driver training program is a three -phased comprehensive instructional <br />based program incorporating: classroom instruction (Phase 1); with a closed cone -course <br />practice (Phase 2); and supervised on -the -road practical experience (Phase 3). Students are <br />required to complete a minimum of fifty-four (54) hours of driving instruction. This time may <br />be extended if our trainer decides more experience or training is necessary before the trainee <br />can operate an emergency ambulance on their own. <br />Phase 1— Classroom Instruction: Phase 1 consists of six (6) hours of classroom instruction and <br />covers the basic components of driving and emergency vehicle operations. The driver trainee is <br />taught low force driving techniques, vehicle dynamics, vehicle code law, due regard and Care's <br />policies and procedures relative to ambulance operations. Specific topics covered in Phase 1 <br />include: backing, lane changes, intersection and skid control, special awareness, following <br />distances, fatigue recognition, on -scene vehicle placement, daily crew responsibilities and <br />operator liabilities. The classroom session includes case -study reviews of actual emergency <br />vehicle collisions and actions that could have been taken to avoid those collisions. The final <br />component of the classroom experience is a fifty (50) -question written final. <br />RFP # 18-059 — CARE AMBULANCE SERVICE 11 <br />
