TY - JOUR PY - 2012// TI - Design considerations to enhance the safety of patient compartments in ambulance transporters JO - International journal of occupational safety and ergonomics A1 - Byran, Eyal A1 - Gilad, Issachar SP - 221 EP - 231 VL - 18 IS - 2 N2 - The safety of the interior of ambulances is dubious and, in the event of sudden impact during emergency transport, potentially perilous to patients they carry. The workplace ergonomics of the interior of the passenger cabin is lacking. This article discusses an improved ergonomic interior design based on study findings, observations and subjective perception. It suggests design aspects and safety concepts aimed at increasing the safety of patients and paramedic staff inside the ambulance as a mobile workstation.
