Picture 4 demonstrates how the handlers support the casualty, as
the casualty also supports himself by placing his hands on the
chairs in front of him. The handlers should be directed when to
move in unison while communicating with the casualty to ensure he
is supported and feels secure.

safety belt on the Evac Chair. The handler then wheels the chair
