There are two criteria necessary for each second revision to pass ballot: (1) simple majority and (2) affirmative 2 /3 vote. The mock examples below show how the calculations are determined. (1) Example for Simple Majority: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members, 11 affirmative votes are required to pass ballot. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligible to vote 2 = = 11) (2) Example for Affirmative 2 /3: Assuming there are 20 vote eligible committee members and 1 member did not return their ballot and 2 members abstained, the number of affirmative votes required would be 12. (Sample calculation: 20 members eligble to vote 1 not returned 2 abstentions = 17 x 0.66 = = 12 ) As always please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

Thackery, Ronald W. good Negative with Comment Wilde, Stephen I am concerned with some parts of the AMD testing and what recourse the 1917 committee has to affect changes in the AMD test standards. Specifically I would like to see the dielectric withstand test in AMD 009 changed to also include a procedure included. I am not a big fan of this test. when it was required in 1911 we did one in our shop ( we have dielectric Hypot testers for insulated boom testing) to see how long it would take and it took my guys about 6 hrs to get the unit ready to test, test and reassemble. I think we really have to ask if the expense of the test is worth what we might find out. Basically you do this test to make sure that the installed wiring is not damaged or the line and neutral are not shorted. I think that if GFCI circuit protection is included they would trip if the line and neutral are shorted.

68 7 of /11/2014 9:38 AM Second Revision No. 14-NFPA [ Section No ] All exterior access and interior access handrails shall be designed and mounted to reduce the possibility of hand slippage and to avoid snagging of equipment or clothing. Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: [ Not Specified ] Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Wed Aug 27 11:43:11 EDT 2014 Committee Statement Committee Statement: Slippery surfaces in the patient compartment can cause avoidable injuries to the EMSP. The patient compartment exterior and interior both need to be designed in a way such that potential slips, falls, and trips can be avoided. Handrails and handholds need to be slip-resistant as they are frequently accessed by EMSPs. Handrails and handholds are especially important to be slip-resistant since their primary function is to provide balance support for EMSPs.

Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: [ Not Specified ] Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Wed Aug 27 11:44:37 EDT 2014 Committee Statement Committee Statement: EMSPs need to be able to quickly exit the patient compartment in the event of an emergency or at the hospital, regardless of whether the door is locked or not. If the doors cannot be opened as quickly as desired, delays can occur for EMSPs to exit or for unloading of the patient. Such delays can lead to deterioration of the patient s condition or increased injury risk for EMS providers. This requirement should ensure there is an alternative guaranteed method of exiting the ambulance.

Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: [ Not Specified ] Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Wed Aug 27 12:06:02 EDT 2014 Committee Statement Committee Statement: A patient needs to be unloaded from the ambulance as soon as the ambulance reaches the hospital. In case the primary entrance cannot be used due to a mechanical problem, doors being blocked at the medical facility, or other reasons then the secondary exit has to be used. The requirement is that this secondary exit door shall allow for quick unloading of the patient on a patient transport device and the compartment configured such that nothing (e.g., cabinets, seating, workstations) prevents or delays maneuvering the patient out the door.

It would be much simpler and easier to understand to require all certifications in one section of the Standard. To the extent the standard requires a feature (such as slip resistance) and stipulates that all exceptions must be documented, it logically follows that all requirements other than those documented as an exception are compliant.

Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: [ Not Specified ] Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Wed Aug 27 12:34:38 EDT 2014 Committee Statement Committee Statement: This requirement does not take into account that mounting the storage cabinets, shelves and drawers might encroach into areas that should be clear for EMSPs that are taller than 59.3 inches (1506mm). This standard does not define how to measure the reach of the EMSPs. Until it can be determined what impact mounting these items has on the encroachment areas for EMSPs that are or exceed 59.3 inches (1506mm) and it is defined how to measure the reach, I feel this should be removed from the standard. The committee agrees with the submitter in that this requirement should be deleted from the document.

Submitter Information Verification Submitter Full Name: [ Not Specified ] Organization: [ Not Specified ] Street Address: City: State: Zip: Submittal Date: Wed Aug 27 13:39:01 EDT 2014 Committee Statement Committee Statement: The waste and sharps disposals in the patient compartment are frequently accessed by EMS providers in order to throw away unnecessary byproducts and keep a hygienic patient compartment. By accommodating the reachability of the disposal containers to a shorter demographic with a smaller reach, EMS providers will have fewer difficulties in reaching them and throwing out their waste. This will enhance their safety by allowing them to stay restrained and will also increase working efficiency, as well as helping them maintain a clean working environment. Using maximum functional reach, as proposed and defined in 3.3, provides a measureable reference point. Committee agrees with the submitters intent however the committee made changes to the text.

Apply the test force for 10 seconds in the direction of cylinder extraction and in both axial directions. Figure Medical Gas Tank Retention Test. 9.3 Patient Cot Retention System Static Test. The following actions shall be performed during the patient cot retention system static test: Test the retention system in a substantially similar ambulance or mounted to a structure that is substantially similar to the ambulance floor. Employ a test fixture that simulates the cot for which the retention system is designed. Install the test fixture in the retention system in such a manner that will preclude contact friction with the floor or cabinet surfaces. Apply each force so that it passes through the location that corresponds to the center of gravity of a loaded patient cot. Apply the test force for 10 seconds in the fore, aft, side-to-side, and vertical directions relative to the direction of vehicle travel. * Replace any damaged parts after each application of force. 9.4 Low Voltage Electrical System Test * The ambulance's low voltage electrical system shall be tested as required by this section, the test results shall be certified by the ambulance manufacturer, and the certified test results shall be delivered with the ambulance Tests shall be performed when the ambient air temperature is between 60 F and 110 F (15 C and 43 C) Test Sequence The tests defined in through shall be performed in the order in which they appear Before each test, the batteries shall be fully charged until the voltage stabilizes at the voltage regulator set point and the lowest charge current is maintained for 10 minutes Failure of any of these tests shall require a repeat of the sequence. 89 of /11/2014 9:38 AM
