Work of this nature requires physical stamina, endurance, and body condition that would not be adversely affected by frequently having to sit, walk, stand, lift, carry, and balance. Hand-eye and motor coordination is necessary for the well-being of the patient, the First Responder and others over uneven terrain. Climbing and balancing are required for safe transport of the patient and equipment. Patients are often found injured or sick in locations where removal is possible only through the First Responder’s stooping, kneeling, crouching and crawling.Transporting lifesaving equipment, arm extension, handling carefully patients in fragile conditions, feeling to assess vital signs are part of the nature of this position. Responding to others through hearing is necessary in transmitting patient information and following directions. Sight is used to drive vehicles, distinguish landmarks and visually inspect patients. The work can involve light lifting (from 10 to 20 pounds maximum) to very heavy lifting (50 pounds frequently, no maximum) and can involve climbing, balancing, stooping, kneeling, crouching, crawling, reaching, handling, fingering, feeling, talking, hearing, and seeing.
