220.03 Equipment Retrieval
PURPOSE:
To retrieve equipment in a timely manner.
PROCEDURE:
In an effort to reduce the risk of lost or missing equipment, all crews should take thefollowing steps to retrieve any items left at the hospitals:
- If the call occurs before midnight, the shift handling the call will retrieve the equipment at the hospital.
- If the call occurs after midnight, the on-coming shift must make it a priority to retrieve the equipment as soon as possible after vehicle check-out in the morning.
At no time will it be acceptable for a full rotation of shifts to occur before equipment retrieval is attempted.
