Pre-Employment Screening and Ongoing Monitoring
Our risk management approach to driving safety begins with an insistence
on high-caliber personnel. We carefully screen an employee's driving record
before we make an employment offer, and we recheck driving records biannually
using the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Employer Pull Notice Program.
SHORELINE AMBULANCE CORP. offers, and will continue to offer, the highest
clinical and staffing standards. These professional standards comply with
all applicable California state laws and regulations, as well as Orange County
EMS licensing policies and the statutes, rules and regulations of the EMS
Division of the California Department of Health.
Minimum requirements for our Orange County field personnel include the following:
- California State EMT Certification
- California Driver's License
- Ambulance Driver's License Endorsement
- CPR/AED Certification
- Orange County Provider License
SHORELINE AMBULANCE CORP. currently has Orange County-certified Emergency
Medical Technicians (EMTs). All of our personnel also maintain National
Registry certification.
Employees must maintain current certification as a condition of employment.
SHORELINE AMBULANCE CORP. maintains a database with each employee's
certification due dates. Each week, we check for and identify those
that will expire within the following 30 to 90 days and send reminder notices
to field employees and the local CES manager. We also attempt to make the
recertification process as easy as possible for employees by offering a
comprehensive calendar of recertification classes held locally.
Our employee screening program, is designed to ensure the "right fit"
the first time, for both the employer and the prospective employee. Our
selection process uses a multiple-step approach for identifying applicants
most likely to succeed as EMTs. In a logical process, each of the steps
contributes specific information about the applicant. The system provides
an objective and comprehensive approach for selecting the most qualified
applicants for the job through the following activities:
- A standardized screening interview conducted by our Human Resources (HR) department
- A standardized application
- A realistic job preview
- Written and practical exercises
- Structured clinical and administrative oral interviews that assess
not only a candidate's training and clinical skills, but also his or her
motivational and interpersonal skills
- Reference and background checks. Before offering employment, our
HR staff conducts a thorough review of each applicant's background.
Department of Motor Vehicles' Employer Pull Notice Program, background
clearance by the Department of Justice, and confirmation of a current and
valid driver's license and EMT certification.
- A pre-placement examination, physical agility test, and drug screen.
