We were delighted to have the opportunity to support and contribute to the UK's first dedicated Emergency Evacuation Seminar and Exhibition last month (2nd May 2018). 

Launched by TagEvac and held at Aviva’s prestigious headquarters in London, this was the first of a series of events which saw professionals from a range of organisations come together to learn and develop best practice for managing their evacuation needs. 

The next event is set to be held at The Fire Service College, Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire on  the 11th October 2018.  The Fire Service College specialise in equipping today’s firefighters and other emergency responders…

Recent fire related disasters have once again highlighted the need for thorough fire risk assessments, suitable fire safety precautions and procedures to be in place, to avoid loss of human life – as seen in the Grenfell Tower blaze.

Care home owners have legal responsibilities, under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, to ensure they have a detailed emergency plan for dealing with any fire situation.

This means carrying out a fire safety risk assessment that incorporates an emergency evacuation plan for all people likely to be on the premises, including disabled people, staff and visitors.

TagEvac is the simple, fast and safe way to manage the evacuation of your building. Using a system of magnetic tags, zone stations and a central control board, TagEvac® gives fire wardens/marshals and Fire & Rescue Services real time information about a buildings evacuation process and eliminates the need for time consuming roll calls.

How it works:

Prior to installation, each building must first be split into controllable evacuation zones.

A tag station, containing a removable metal tag, is then placed in a fixed location outside that zone. Each zone is colour coded and has a unique reference. The tag…

We had a fantastic few days at the National Back Exchange Conference where we successfully launched our new ergonomic limb support - the ErgoRaiser.

On day 1 of the conference we invited delegates to join us in raising a glass to the successful completion of the project and held on the stand demonstrations to showcase the Ergoraiser’s versatility and possible applications…

We had a fantastic (but very sweaty) few days at the Foothealth Conference in sunny Kettering this week where we were once again showing the ErgoKneeler and sister product the ErgoRaiser (which is being launched soon we promise!!).

This year we also had our fabulous and very colourful OneLegs for sale on the stand, which proved very popular among delegates.  Lots of very happy domiciliary nurses walked away with one to replace their rickety old fishing stools for their visits , which we are sure will be a great conversation piece with clients. 

It was an absolute pleasure to spend…

The blaze gutted Newgrange Care Home in Cadmore Lane, Cheshunt, after it broke out at about 05:50 BST. Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue service said 12 fire engines were sent to the care home and that an "excellent effort" had been made by everyone involved in the rescue.

Despite firefighters launching a "challenging" rescue operation, they were unable to save everyone inside. Three needed hospital treatment for minor burns and smoke inhalation, the fire service said.
