Summit County Ambulance also issued their employees helmets, but I am not sure if they are used in the back, they are not when driving.

Not only is CEO Bryan Gibson ensuring the best services to the community; he's taking the extra step to help protect his employees on the job - requiring them to wear helmets.
"The back of an ambulance is an unsafe place. We're driving high rates of speed through red lights and stop signs," said Gibson. "Hopefully they stop and they should, but things happen and sometimes people don't see us and we get hit."
SAS is one of the first departments in the country to require their employees to wear helmets while responding to emergencies.
