I encourage any and all to brush up on Mechanical Principles for the sake of your own health not to mention your fellow crew members. I know it sounds boring and tedious but it really sheds light onto the everyday things that you do during your shift or at home.
Using mechanical advantage to your benefit can help you save your back when lifting or moving Pt.s and help you to better understand the equipment you use.
From stretchers to ambulances, knowing how things work helps you use them correctly.
I started brushing up on the topic while studying for the firefighter exam and it really opened my eyes and has helped me work smarter rather than harder.
