Description

WHAT IS THIS PRODUCT?

The ResQmat is an evacuation mat used to help evacuate someone from a building, including going down stairs. Similar to a fire extinguisher, it is stored hanging from a wall or in a cupboard.

People can be slid down the stairs during an evacuation.

Some common names for this type of product are Fire Rescue Sheet, Fire Blanket, Fire Sheet, Ski Sheet and Evacuation Sheet.

Before ordering, please view the entire range of ResQ Products listed at the bottom of this page to ensure that you select the most appropriate product for your needs and circumstances. If you require assistance choosing, please contact us.

Some important features of this product are:

	High vis yellow storage bag, with instructions. After removing from the storage bag, the plastic board will lie flat and will not curl up like some other rescue mats. There is no need to take the ResQmat out of the storage bag to ‘reverse roll’ it every three months and then repack it.
	ResQmat completely encloses the evacuee, and has 4 sets of wide Hook & Loop Tape which can allow for the evacuee’s arms to be either inside or outside.
	The head pillow is specially designed for impact absorption when going down stairs.
	Full length mattress
	Long towing strap at both the head and foot end allow rescuers to pull without bending. The orange strap lifts the foot end around the evacuee’s feet and allows for heights up to 6’4”.
	The white plastic flute board underneath allows for excellent heat insulation, so the evacuee does not get hurt from the heat generated by sliding.

WHO IS THIS PRODUCT SUITABLE FOR?

Children being evacuated from a school
Students being evacuated from a university or college

Important

Manual Handling Warning: Products designed to help with manual handling of people must be used correctly to avoid injury to the Carer, Patient or user. We recommend practising in a safe environment with an able-bodied colleague. Immediately cease any manual handling movement at the first sign of risk or discomfort. Use the most appropriate piece of equipment. Complete a suitable risk assessment before using, and seek assistance where necessary. It is important to remember that manual handling products are designed to assist, they are not designed to take the place of manual handling.

How to thread a buckle: It is vital that a buckle is threaded on the webbing strap correctly. Incorrect threading will not hold the webbing correctly and the webbing will slip and may cause injury to both the Carer and Patient.
