Emergency evacuation equipment
This section includes equipment to provide assistance with emergency evacuation from a building if a plan of action has been made. They are suitable for adults, children or both.
Stairclimbers are attendant operated devices designed to go down stairs only.
Evacuation chairs and stretchers may have integral lifting handles intended for use during evacuation, other chairs may be intended primarily as short distance transfer chairs.
Evacuations sheets are very strong sheets or pads with carry handles that are used for evacuating people in emergency situations. They present a risk of injury to the operator when used to lift or slide a person manually. Also included are straps for mattress evacuation.
