Hospitals pose difficult problems for fire safety, as it is
not possible in many instances to move people around quickly, or evacuate
them to outside the building.
To assist in moving patients in an emergency, a device
called a Ski Sheet (see below) can be fitted under the mattress, and then used to drag
the patient out of harms way whilst still on the mattress. This has the
advantage that the patient has the protection of the mattress and does not
need to be transferred to a trolley or wheelchair etc.
The Ski Sheet can be used to move patients
horizontally or vertically down stairs. In an emergency, straps are unrolled
& buckled across the chest and legs of the patient enabling safe and swift
evacuation. Ski Sheets were used extensively for the evacuation of patients
during the fire at the Royal Marsden Hospital in January 2008. Following the fire, a large quantity of replacements
were ordered!
We also supply a range of
Fire Training videos and DVDs
for Hospitals & Nursing Homes, including
Manual Handling for Care Staff and
Guide to
Assisted Evacuation
And..... for those annoying fire doors,
Dorgard. A self contained battery operated device
that can be fitted to a fire door to hold it open, closing in the fire alarm
is activated.

The Ski Pad (right) is a development of the Ski Sheet for use when
corridors or stairways are too narrow for a Ski Sheet and mattress.

Ross Maxi-Glide The Ross
Maxi-Glide is used for transferring patients/residents between
beds and trolleys etc.
The Maxi-Glide can span gaps of
20cm along with small differences in height, and is extra stable
where a patient's body is heaviest. owing to anti-slip protection on
the underside of the board. Transporting the sliding board is easy -
just fold it and carry it by its handle. It will store easily by
just hanging on a hook.
MaxiGlide is made of strong
polythene, with anti-slip on the back. Users can fold it down the
middle for easier handling and storage.

Manufactured from high density,
integral skin polyurethane foam, the mat has been CE marked with the
MHRA after successful testing for impact, slip resistance and
flammability by the SATRA Technology Centre.
Each mat is produced in two sections that can be
interlocked with hook & loop connectors. The mats also have tapered
edges on all sides.
To reduce cleaning &
cross infection problems, the mat has an anti-bacterial coating
