PROPOSAL TO PROVIDE FIRE/EMS EMERGENCY TRANSPORTATION & RELATED SERVICES CITY OF SANTA ANA submit a driving record from the state in which the applicant is currently licensed. Any candidate with a poor driving history is not considered for employment. Criminal History & Background Investigation: Care Ambulance uses the services of a retired police officer and currently licensed private investigator to conduct a thorough background investigation for prospective EMT employees. This includes a complete criminal history check, DMV search, reference check with former employers, social security check and credit history check. • Oral Interview: Qualified candidates are invited to an oral interview conducted by our Operations Managers and Field Training Officers. The candidate's prior work history, goals and EMT knowledge are reviewed. Strength & Flexibility Testing: Strength and flexibility testing is conducted by a licensed physical therapist. The test is done to simulate the physical strength necessary for the position, flexibility, and use of proper lifting techniques. Physical Exam & Drug Testing: The final step in the process is a pre -placement medical examination, including a personal health history, vision testing, hearing tests, musculoskeletal evaluation, spinal x-ray and urinalysis drug screening. Orientation New employees' most crucial learning takes place during the formal training process, including development of good work habits. As such, Care Ambulance provides a minimum of 124 training hours in a structured and rigid training format. Orientation begins on the first day of employment, and ends when scheduled, without interruption. The orientation program is taught by our Field Training Officers who maintain written documentation throughout the process. The program begins with a 80 -hour classroom and didactic program, including a general overview, OSHA requirements and Policy Manual Review. During the next phase, the new employee is assigned to a Field Training Officer and rides as a third person ride -along in an ambulance. Basic skills are reviewed and tested. Training is continued until the EMT is able to function as a primary partner. The final phase of Care's orientation program is our in-house comprehensive emergency vehicle driver training program. We present the "Emergency Vehicle Operators Course National Standard Curriculum" and "Coaching the Emergency Vehicle Operators" courses. These programs provide the necessary classroom instruction, competency field training, and testing for new and existing drivers. Our program verifies proficiency in the understanding of emergency vehicle driving, as well as the practical application of that knowledge. RFP 9 18-059 — CARE AMBULANCE SERVICE 26
