Whatโ€™s an evacuation mat?

An evacuation mat is a tool used to move people during emergencies. It helps when someone cannot walk or move on their own. This could be in a fire, earthquake, or other dangerous situations.

The mat is made from strong materials, like nylon or polyester. It has handles and straps. These keep the person safe and secure while they are being moved.

The mat can slide easily over the floor or down stairs. This helps rescuers move the person quickly without lifting. Some mats also have soft padding for comfort.

Evacuation mats are important in places like hospitals and care homes. In these places, some people may not be able to get up or walk by themselves. The mat makes it faster and safer to help them.

 

The mats are lightweight and easy to carry. They are also simple to store and take out when needed. When there is an emergency, staff can grab the mat quickly.

Both professional rescuers and trained staff can use an evacuation mat. It does not take much time to learn how to use it. This is why itโ€™s a useful tool in many buildings and often chosen as alternative to evacuation chairs. Some people also call it a rescue sledge or evacuation mattress.

 

In an emergency, an evacuation mat can save lives by helping to move people fast and safely. If youโ€™re interested in evacuation mats, donโ€™t forget to check the S-CAPEPLUSยฎ brand. Itโ€™s an evacuation mat brand by Tetcon which is used by safety specialists in more than 50 countries.
