If a participant uses a non-ASTM-SEI or non-equivalent helmet during mounted services, what documentation is required?

The correct choice is rooted in the necessity of ensuring safety and compliance with established guidelines during mounted services. When a participant uses a helmet that does not meet ASTM-SEI (American Society for Testing and Materials-Safety Equipment Institute) standards or an equivalent standard, it is crucial to have appropriate documentation that adheres to PATH International guidelines.

Option A emphasizes the importance of proper documentation needed for helmets that deviate from the normative safety requirements. The PATH International Guidelines for Alternative Helmet Use are designed to outline how to manage situations involving non-standard helmets, ensuring practitioners can still offer services while maintaining a focus on participant safety.

Documentation ensures that there is a recognized method for addressing the risks associated with using a non-approved helmet, providing a structured approach to helmet use in mounted programs. This is vital not only for participant safety but also for the organization’s liability and documentation protocols.
