Key points

Suitable equipment and staffing

Bariatric transport requires a stretcher and vehicle rated for the load, and enough people to carry safely. Give the approximate weight, the person's mobility, the floor and the width of passageways in advance: improvising puts both the person and the team at risk of injury. The person's dignity is respected at every stage.
