Slide 14 - Bledsoe et al., Essentials of Paramedic Care: Division V © 2006 by Pearson Education, Inc. Upper Saddle River, NJ Safe Ambulance Operations Educating providers is the first part of any proactive education program ensuring safe ambulance operations.

Slide 19 - Bledsoe et al., Essentials of Paramedic Care: Division V © 2006 by Pearson Education, Inc. Upper Saddle River, NJ Lights and Sirens Motorists are less likely to yield when sirens are continually sounded.

Ambulance operators may also develop anxiety from sirens—and long-term hearing problems.
Slide 20 - Bledsoe et al., Essentials of Paramedic Care: Division V © 2006 by Pearson Education, Inc. Upper Saddle River, NJ Siren Guidelines Use the siren sparingly. Never assume motorists will hear your siren. Assume that some motorists will hear your siren, but choose to ignore it. Be prepared for panic and erratic maneuvers. Never use the siren to scare someone!
