Dry Riser Testing and Maintenance
Dry Risers are a vital piece of fire protection equipment for buildings above 18 metres. They play a critical role in delivering considerable quantities of water in a high rise building. They can however be prone to serious neglect and vandalism so it is important to have them regularly maintained and serviced. Independent Fire Services engineers will carry out a full annual wet pressure test and six monthly visual check to the current British Standard Code of Practice BS9990:2006 using our own dry riser testing appliance.
We are well equipped to carry out your annual dry riser inspections.
Fire Risk Assessment
We conduct fire risk assessments to ensure that your premises are compliant with government legislation.
Evacuation Aids
Ski Pads
In an emergency the ski-pad is quickly and easily removed from its storage bag. Lay ‘SKI-PAD’ beside the patient’s bed. The patient is then simply transferred to the ‘SKI-PAD’ wrapped in a blanket. The belts are then ‘clunk clicked’ into place to secure and cocoon the patient and you are ready to go. Simply drag the patient to safety.
Ski Sheets
With a ‘ski’ Evacuation Sheet You Can Cope!
Can assist with the horizontal or
vertical mattress evacuation of patients.- Easily secured, using the elastic corner loops this ensures the Ski Sheet to be securely held in place.
- Safe and swift evacuation, unrolled & buckled up straps across the chest & legs of the patient.
- Buckles mean no hooks to catch or knots to learn.
- Means of moving non-ambulant patients quickly and easily.
AlbacMat
The AlbacMat is a flexible stretcher
that can be used to evacuate patients
from nursing homes, residential
homes and hospitals.
In the event of fire or similar
emergencies the AlbacMat eE can be
used to remove immobile patients
from beds, operating theatres,
chairs, or from the floor. It is suitable
for both horizontal and vertical
evacuations.
The AlbacMat consists of a red nylon sheet bonded to a polypropylene flexible board. The board allows the AlbacMat to glide over most types of surface including carpet, vinyl, concrete, bitumen and grass. Velcro straps restrain the patient while a foot pocket secures the feet. Various handles allow one or two people to safely evacuate patients from hazardous situations.
ResQmat
The ResQmat stores neatly in a
highly visible bag, which has three
Velcro sides making it easy to open
in a hurry. It also has easy to follow
pictorial instructions on the front.
The item is entirely padded with a pillow under the head and a foam mat protecting the body. The three wide Velcro straps completely enclose the patient to help prevent the possibility of patients reaching out for anything as they are being rescued.
This also helps keep them secure once they are in a safe location, especially patients who may wander. Because of the built in padding, the ResQmat is safe and comfortable for people when going down stairs and over rough surfaces. It will adjust to size so the patient does not slip down inside the ResQmat when going down stairs.
