SOPs

[screaming pizza]

Working on writing or revamping SOPS here for start/end of shift duties. I could really use some input from other services that already have established SOPs that I can refer to. I am looking at some sort of hybrid set.

1) Mop the patinet compatment. With a mop. With water. The entire floor. Take the stretcher out first, dumbass.

Sound like a start?

I was actually thinking along the lines of turn the key FORWARD to start the engine. Twit.

Crawl, THEN walk, crawl, THEN walk

Nope, should be take all loose items off floor, bring power hose to the front of the patient compartment, now point nozzle down (for you slow people that is towards the floor), squeeze trigger, and wash out towards open doors (you did remember to leave them open right dumbass), then mop with soap and disinfectant. :)

That's a recipe for disaster.

Too many steps to those instructions.

may be but considering the amount of times the back of my rigs get cleaned out it is useful.

Ah should be at the beginning of each shift at the very least

Use a mild cleaning solution *bleach and water* to surface clean all solid surfaces and anywhere a medic might have to sit

Empty garbage from front and back of unit

Replace any and all items used during your shift

report any non functioning equipment to supervisor and oncoming shift

Ensure unit has a FULL tank of fuel, use the correct fuel for the vehicle
If weather is inclement, ensure vehicle has windsheild washer fluid

Actually I am looking specifically for input on start/end of shift responsibilities/duties. They are usually obvious at other places, but don't really have anything in writing, per se. Usually, common sense is used, but I've discovered that the standard changes more than the wind.

At my former employer:

Morning: Check out rig. Grab extra run forms. Get the hell out.

Evening: Check rig back in. Mop interior. Replace supplies used.

Problem is, Checking out the rig you're under so much pressure to get out the door and the supervisor is so hard to get ahold of, nobody ever restocks. Same problem at night (not to mention forgetting you used that cannula on the first call). And the hospitals don't like to give us supplies.
