Safety first!

A fire or other emergency in buildings and public facilities can quickly turn into a life-threatening situation. In such moments, a quick and organized evacuation is crucial to protect human lives. However, not everyone is able to get to safety on their own - the elderly, children or people with physical disabilities in particular need special assistance. Below we present some proven and innovative evacuation aids:

1. Wheelchairs as first aid

For people in wheelchairs, this is the most obvious aid. A conventional wheelchair offers a wide range of gripping options and can also climb stairs with the support of two people - provided that no motorized components are installed.

Advantages:

• No repositioning necessary
• Familiar aid

2. Evacuation mattresses

Evacuation mattresses are made of hard-wearing material and are ideal for the rapid transportation of immobile persons. They can be easily placed under a person and offer a safe and comfortable evacuation option.

Advantages:

• Simple design
• Lightweight and space-saving
• Flexible in use

3. Rescue chairs

Rescue chairs have been specially developed to safely evacuate people with reduced mobility from a building. They have wheels and often sliding rails that allow them to be transported up and down stairs.

Advantages:

• Quick operational readiness

Conclusion: Preparation saves lives!

The choice of the right evacuation aid depends on the specific requirements of the building and the individual needs of the people affected. Regular training on the use of these aids and fire drills are essential in order to be able to act effectively in an emergency.

This article is intended to help raise awareness of the various options for safe evacuation in an emergency - because every preparation is a step towards greater safety!
