Albac Mat Information and Guidance Notes for Fire Marshalls
The AlbacMat is designed to enable individuals with physical or mobility impairments to be quickly and safely moved to safety in the event of an emergency situation. Safe- The AlbacMat has been designed with Safety, for both the rescuer and patient being of paramount importance. Effective- The ability of the AlbacMat to travel easily over most surfaces - including stairs, carpet and concrete allows for improved efficiency when evacuating a building. Use in any location - The AlbacMat is totally independent of its environment. It does not matter where the patient may be - in bed, the bathroom or the corridor, they can still be placed onto the AlbacMat and taken to safety. Features:
Carry handles, 3 on each side, plus the handles at the head and feet. Extra body strap at hips, which then allow straps to form X over torso or can be secure straight across the patient at chest, hips and shin Thermal Blanket for patient comfort and safe restraint for 'panicky' patients or those who may try to remove themselves from the mat while in transit. It is stored in the foot pocket and can be unrolled over the patients' feet to cover their whole body and then they can be strapped in. You can still use the AlbacMat without using the thermal cover as the patients' feet will still rest in the foot pocket.
