title: Vehicle maintenance and inspections.
abstract: Your customers look to you to provide emergency medical assistance. They expect you to be there with the right equipment when they are in need. To meet those expectations, you must spend the time necessary to inspect and maintain your vehicles and the lifesaving equipment they carry. Documentation of inspections and the maintenance performed is also important. It shows the steps you have taken to ensure your equipment is in proper working order, and can help protect you should you ever need to prove that.
