Common use of Lift Operations Clause in Contracts

Lift Operations. 1. The driver shall run a complete lift cycle each day before transporting any consumers who use the lift to ensure it is functioning properly. 2. The drivers shall immediately notify the supervisor/dispatch of any issues with the lift’s functionality. 3. Preventative maintenance shall be conducted on the lift every 750 cycles. The Transportation Provider shall keep the maintenance record and present this to the Broker for an annual desk audit. This is the standard recommended number of cycles and vehicles should be maintained within 50 cycles of this suggested schedule and at least yearly. 4. Whenever possible, mobility devices should board in a rear-facing position and exit the vehicle in a forward-facing position. (The ADA always gives a choice to the passenger to ride either facing toward or away from the vehicle.) 5. Once a passenger has been moved onto the lift platform, the driver shall set the wheel locks on a manual chair. For a motorized chair, drivers shall ensure the power has been turned off once the consumer is on the lift. 6. The driver should never ride the lift with the consumer in the wheelchair unless it is required to ensure consumer safety and a monitor is not present. 7. The driver should never ride the lift with an ambulatory consumer unless it is required to ensure consumer safety and a monitor is not present. 8. While loading or unloading, the driver should remain on the ground with one hand firmly on the wheelchair and one hand operating the controls.
