ABOUT THIS PRODUCT
The ResQslide Board & Chair Strap Kit is used to assist in transferring a person from a chair or wheelchair to an evacuation device such as the ResQmat. During an emergency evacuation, lifts, elevators, and escalators are typically out of service, meaning wheelchair users may need to be moved via stairs.
The plastic board is extremely strong and allows the person to be slid to the floor or directly onto an evacuation device or mat such as the ResQmat.
Before ordering, please review the full range of ResQ products listed at the bottom of this page to ensure you select the most appropriate product for your needs and circumstances. If you require assistance choosing, please contact us.
WHO SHOULD USE THIS PRODUCT?
The ResQslide Board & Chair Strap Kit is suitable for use in private or public buildings where a wheelchair user may need to be assisted during an emergency evacuation.
HOW TO USE THIS PRODUCT
Position the board under the person as far as possible. Attach the strap around the back of the chair to prevent the board from slipping out. Rescuers then assist in sliding the person in a controlled manner onto the evacuation device or mat.
PRODUCT MATERIALS
Plastic, webbing, foam.
WARNING
Any product that assists sliding may be hazardous if not used correctly. This product should only be used under guidance from a qualified therapist.
