HEALTHCARE EVACUATION

CAN YOU EVACUATE YOUR PATIENTS, VISITORS AND STAFF SAFELY?

Given the vulnerability of patients in hospitals and other healthcare facilities, it is paramount to have well-planned emergency evacuation procedures in India. We must be fully prepared for any eventuality to ensure the safe evacuation of all individuals in healthcare settings. Your safety is our utmost concern.

Why we need a healthcare evacuation plan

Amid India’s current climate of unpredictability, encompassing terrorism, violence, fires, and severe weather incidents, the significance of effective emergency evacuation plans cannot be overstated. To ensure the safety of all, including patients with disabilities, extra precautions must be taken, and personalized care plans developed.

In healthcare facilities across India, comprehensive emergency planning is indispensable. Leaving any individual behind due to their physical limitations is not an option we can afford. Our collective responsibility is to pre-plan and prepare for emergencies in a manner that accommodates the unique needs of every patient. Swift and efficient evacuation should be a priority, surpassing the reliance on waiting for first responders.

Each patient’s Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) holds a crucial role in this process. Tailoring evacuation strategies to address individual requirements is vital, ensuring that no one is left vulnerable during times of crisis.

In the face of adversity, let us unite as a nation, ensuring the safety and protection of all in our healthcare facilities. Together, we can create an environment where every life matters and emergency preparedness leaves no room for compromise.

In India, it is crucial to consider the safety of staff and visitors with disabilities in healthcare facilities. Developing an inclusive emergency plan that addresses the needs of all individuals is imperative. Healthcare officials and staff should collaborate to create and communicate this plan to all concerned parties. Upholding moral, ethical, and legal responsibilities, the establishment must prioritize the safety of the entire community during emergencies.

In the unfortunate event of earthquakes or fires, using elevators in multi-storey buildings is not advisable as it may lead to people with disabilities or injuries becoming trapped. To address this concern, our evacuation chair offers the perfect solution. This lightweight and user-friendly device glides effortlessly down stairways, ensuring quick and safe removal of individuals with mobility impairments during emergency evacuations.

With the evacuation chair, we can empower individuals with mobility challenges, guaranteeing their swift and secure evacuation during emergencies. Together, we strengthen our emergency preparedness, leaving no one behind.

An evacuation plan should insure and include:
  • Full risk identification and prevention
  • Drills (identifying obstacles  as they arise and before an emergency occurs)
  • Equipment required and its usage
  • Training needs
  • Post drill evaluation to inform any changes necessary etc.

Healthcare evacuation chairs, these are now essential for the safety of your patients, staff and visitors.
