Unit 5

Attend emergencies

Element 6

Manages the situation at the patient's location

PC (a)
Switches off audible warning devices on approach

notes:

The aim of this criterion is to avoid increasing the patient's anxiety or that of others at the patient's location.

Audible warning devices must remain on if there are other road users who may still be unaware of the ambulance's presence. Beacons must remain on at all times if the driver is using emergency provisions.
