With a significant uptake in sales after a productive time at the Intersec Exhibition in Dubai earlier this month, Evacusafe are proud to announce their new business partner for the Middle East market, Safety First. The company are Safety Training experts with offices in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. SafetyFirst are now the official distributors and trainers for the Evacusafe range of specialist evacuation equipment.

The Evacusafe range has been designed to facilitate the safe evacuation of mobility impaired people, who may not be able to take the stairs, from buildings in the event of lift failure and enables quick and easy evacuation of people in wheelchairs, those with injuries or mobility problems, or during pregnancy. The high quality, CE Certified, specialised evacuation equipment which includes evacuation chairs, transit / ambulance chairs and evacuation slider-mattresses, provides solutions for businesses and organisations that need to be compliant with current Health and Safety Legislation and the Equalities Act.

The products are already hugely successful in the UAE and GCC with prestigious clients such as the Burj Khalifa Tower, the world’s tallest building, Etihad, The Rose Rayhaan, the world’s tallest hotel, Emaar, Qatar Financial Centre and International Extended Care in Saudi Arabia to name a few.

Paul Mitchell, Director of Evacusafe, said: “As you’d expect, we’re delighted to have a new business partner of this calibre in the Middle East. Having offices in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi significantly improves logistics for our Middle East operation. As well as selling and distributing our specialist evacuation products, our new team will also be available to provide training on the entire Evacusafe range though out the UAE. The new website (www.evacusafe-me.com) went live earlier this week and is already generating interest from companies looking for evacuation solutions.

Our evacuation products are already very popular worldwide and the Middle East market potential is huge. We have a considerable amount of evacuation chairs in the Burj Khalifa Tower, the world’s tallest building and also in the world’s tallest hotel. It made sense to start at the top and work our way down.

Our most popular product is the Excel Evacuation Chair but the recently launched Evacuation Slider-mattresses are becoming increasingly popular for those on a tighter budget.”

Following the success of their Evacuslider evacuation mattress, our sister company Evacusafe UK will be demonstrating their new upgraded version, the Excel Evacuslider, at the ‘A+A International Trade Show’ in Germany. The show, also known as “Safety, Security and Health at Work International Trade Fair with Congress”, takes place at the Dusseldorf Exhibition Centre, Dusseldorf, Germany from the 18th – 21st October. Evacusafe will be located at stand 6C66 in hall 6.

Since the launch of the Standard Evacuslider earlier this year, and the recent launch of the Excel model, sales have gone through the roof, so much so that the Basingstoke based company have had to vastly increase production in order to keep up with demand.

The Evacuslider is a modern version of the ski-mattress which is used in hospitals and attached to the underside of a hospital mattress to enable patients to be evacuated comfortably and safely down stairways and corridors in emergency evacuation situations. The Evacuslider overcomes difficulties often found during evacuations due to the restricted width with of narrow corridors, staircases and fire escapes.

Paul Mitchell, Director of Evacusafe, said: “The uptake of our Evacuslider range has been truly incredible. Thankfully our team have been working all hours to keep up with the demand and to ensure our stock levels are replenished in time for the orders we anticipate the show to generate. The majority of sales, so far, have come from the NHS and care homes and the feedback we’ve received has been great. The general consensus appears to be astonishment at the quality of our products for the prices we’re able to sell them at.

Our website sales have increased significantly since we introduced a 5% discount for online purchases. We’ve actually decided to extend the discount to any purchases made via telephone and paid for with a Credit or Debit card. Incidentally the 5% discount applies to our entire range of evacuation products, not just the Evacusliders.”

The Excel Evacuslider boasts full cushioned head support with adjustable straps, built-in carry handles and quick release belts, a large foot pocket for added comfort and security and, although a thicker and more comfortable mattress in comparison to the Standard Evacuslider, the Excel version is still light weight and easy-to-use and slides effortlessly across the floor.

As well as the Evacuslider mattresses they will be showcasing their entire range of specialist evacuation equipment, including their Tracked Excel Evacuation Chairs and Ambulance / Transit Evacuation Chairs. The Evacusafe team will be on hand to demonstrate their range of safety evacuation equipment, to give advice and to answer any questions.

The Evacusafe range of evacuation equipment has been specially designed to facilitate the safe evacuation, in emergency situations, of people who are mobility impaired; whether due to wheelchairs, injuries, pregnancy or other mobility problems.

Easy to use and set up, each Evacusafe Tracked chair comes with arm rests, a seat belt, a cushioned head rest and brakes for ultimate safety and comfort. They also have sturdy hooks, a highly visible overhead sign and a protective cover, instruction manual and DVD.
All Evacusafe chairs meet current UK / EEC Fire Safety Regulations and Disability Discrimination legislation. They also help organisations to meet their duty of care in risk assessments and emergency evacuation procedures.

Evacusafe sell the Evacuation chair to a large number of organisations across the globe including hotels, hospitals, government buildings, banks, office blocks, schools, colleges, universities, fire equipment companies, ambulance and emergency services and health and safety organisations.

Health & Safety training specialists, Environmental Handling Systems, will be at the ‘Health and Safety North’ event which takes place at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton on Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th of October 2011. Their team will be on hand to offer advice and guidance on all your health and safety training requirements.

Environmental Handling Systems provides a comprehensive range of health and safety services tailored to all types of businesses and industries throughout London, the South East and across the UK and Northern Ireland.

Their objectives target minimising accidents, lowering staff turnover, reducing operating costs and promoting your company as a responsible and caring organisation.

Their services include:

• Manual Handling Training
• General Risk Assessments
• DSE / VDU (Display Screen Equipment) Workstation Risk Assessments
• Fire Risk Assessments & Fire Warden Training
• Safety Audits
• Evacuation Chair Training
• Evacuation Slider Mattress Training
• Assessor Training

As we approach the autumn and winter months, the Health & Safety North event is an excellent opportunity to stand back and consider what Health & Safety policies and procedures you have in place, and what staff training may be required.
Some things to consider are;

Induction – Have your employees had a health & safety brief? What to do in the event of a fire? What are their responsibilities?

DSE - Did your employees get a proper assessment of their desk? Is the screen the correct height? Is the chair set correctly?

Manual Handling – Do your staff members lift loads? Have they been correctly trained? Do they know the risks?

Risk Assessment - Are there any hazards in the working area? Are your staff, or any visiting members of the public, currently at risk? What about slips and trips?

Fire Evacuation - Do your staff know the evacuation plan and meeting points? Are they trained to use equipment such as Evacuation Chairs and Slider Mattresses?

It’s easy to make sure you’ve taken all the necessary steps not only to protect your staff and your customers, but also your company and its hard built reputation. Most businesses will be aware that strict penalties can be enforced for non compliance with current Health and Safety laws and pleading ignorance or a lack of funding for training will not be any form of defense.

At the show their sister company, Evacusafe UK, will be showcasing their range of specialist evacuation equipment, including their Tracked Excel Evacuation Chair, Ambulance /Transit Evacuation Chair and the new Evacuslider-mattress. The Evacusafe team will be on hand to demonstrate their range of safety evacuation equipment, to give advice and to answer any questions.

The ‘Health and Safety North’ event takes place at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton on Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th of October 2011. EH Systems, and sister company Evacusafe UK, will be situated at stand number 48.

As a low-cost alternative to evacuation chairs, evacuation mattresses can be used to quickly and safely transport mobility impaired people in emergency situations. The Evacuslider is a modern version of the slider mattresses which have been used in hospitals and residential care homes for many years. Evacuslider evacuation mattresses are used to effortlessly ‘slide’ a person to safety.

Both the Standard Evacuslider and Excel Evacuslider can be manoeuvred down stairs and smoothly in an emergency, and can be controlled by one or two people. They are especially useful in areas where space is restricted, such as tight and narrow corridors and stairways. There is no heavy lifting required and once the slider mattress has been used it can be moved quickly to a place of safety away from the emergency.
