We use the Garaventa Evacu-Trac Chairs and a soft stretcher. It seems to be
easiest. Here are the links:
http://www.evacutrac.com/
http://www.morrisonmed.com/Soft_Stretcher_Info&Comp.pdf
Our procedure is to have employee transfer over to the chair with a soft
stretcher underneath them so that when they get their wheel chair, 4 people
can just lift them from the evacuation chair into the chair.
We=92ve used this process several times when we have to evacuate a wheel-ch
air
bound employee.

We need to accommodate a whee
lchair-bound student in a 3rd-floor lab this Fall, so we=92re lo
oking at the purchase of an evacuation chair. From what I=92ve seen so far,
the idea is to transfer the mobility-restricted worker/student to the evac
uation chair; another worker/student/staff member then =91walks=92 the chai
r down the stairs. Features & prices vary.
Does anyone have experience to share ab
out these devices?
