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 ‘Health and Safety North’ show at the Reebok Stadium in Bolton next week. 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 Health and Safety North 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.

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

As well as the Evacuslider mattresses they will be showcasing their entire range of specialist evacuation equipment, including their Tracked Excel Evacuation Chair, Ambulance /Transit Evacuation Chair and the new Excel 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 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.

There’s never been a better time to buy emergency evacuation equipment online - you can now save 5% on the entire Evacusafe range of evacuation products when paying with a Credit/Debit Card either online in the Evacusafe e-store, or via telephone.

The 5% discount applies to all Evacusafe evacuation products; Evacuation Chairs, Transit / Ambulance Chairs, Evacuation Slider Mattresses and the Evacuaid Emergency Evacuation Bracelet.

Following the success of the Evacuslider, Evacusafe’s evacuation slider-mattress, a new premium model has now been launched. The new Excel Evacuslider has many additional extras including cushioned head blocks, built in carry handles, a large capacity foot space and an extra thick foam mattress for added comfort.

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.

With many companies and businesses already employing extra staff for the busy summer months, it may be prudent to take a moment and see what steps have been made to ensure, not only the safety of the employee but the safety of the public who may be interacting with them.

In these cost aware times some companies may be tempted to overlook the safety issues that surround temporary staff, in particular;

Induction - Has the employee had a safety brief? What to do in the event of a fire? What are their responsibilities?

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

Manual Handling - Has the staff member lifting loads? Have they been trained? Do they know the risks?

Risk Assessment - Are there any hazards in the working area? Are members of the public at risk? What about slips and trips?

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

Most businesses will be aware they are strict penalties now 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 defence.

Make sure you have taken all the necessary steps not only to protect your staff and your customers, but your company and its hard built reputation.

If you would like guidance on any of the issues above, or just some sound advice, then please feel free to contact us on;
