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.

In no circumstances…

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. It was a privilege to have the Ergoraisers designer, Linda Darwent -  Chartered Physiotherapist and Back Care Adviser, with us during the conference to share her expertise and thoughts behind the creation of this unique limb support with delegates.

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 were very excited to supply laboratory chairs for the recent blockbuster Doctor Strange, which were used in the hospital scenes throughout the movie. It's not often you pay real attention to the props in the background but we certainly were while watching this film!

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…
