The Health and Safety at work act 1974 states ‘It shall be the duty of every employer to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all his employees’. Nationwide Fire Extinguishers sell a very cost effective range of evacuation chairs to aid the safe evacuation of staff, residents or customers. Our evacuation equipment ranges from an escape ladder, to a ‘ski-sheet’ to a selection of transit evacuation chairs.

Our Ski – Sheet assists with the mattress evacuation of bed bound patients with no need for lifting. The ski sheet is secured beneath the mattress and held in place by elastic, corner loops. In an emergency, the straps are unrolled and buckled up across the chest and legs of the patient to enable them to be safely dragged.

Our transit range starts with a lightweight chair, which has front swivel wheels, is ideal for transferring patients through corridors and lifts, and folds away to a slim size for storage. Designed for comfort and strength, this superior transit range of evacuation chair is ideal for transporting patients through corridors and stairwells. Versatile and manoeuvrable, these chairs are widely used for their comfort and value. Our top of the range transit evacuation chairs have been designed to reduce the need for lifting, for superior manoeuvrability in small spaces and smooth easy movement up and down the stairs using a pioneering tri-wheel system. We now also sell the latest advance in evacuation equipment, a new evacuation chair which uses tracks to glide stairs without the need for lifting or carrying. This range of transit evacuation chairs are finished in bright chrome and are covered in a flame retardant, vinyl coated nylon for maximum hygiene. They are invaluable part of any risk management plan in public buildings, schools, offices etc.
