Description
The Basket Stretcher is designed to cause minimal impact or disturbance to the casualty. Basket stretchers are one of the most hard-wearing stretchers and are suitable for carrying, lifting and even dragging. Strong, sturdy and flexible, the basket stretcher is perfect for use in all types of rescue and recovery situations. Durable fittings enable first-aid personnel to operate rapidly and safely.
The Basket Stretcher is also supplied with lifting sling equipment, making the stretcher suitable for use with a winch.
HSE guidance clearly states employers have a legal duty of care towards their employees. This includes arranging equipment to ensure their employees receive immediate attention if an injury occurs at work. If your risk assessment suggests your workplace could cause head, neck and spinal injuries, it certainly would be worth considering supplying a stretcher and head immobiliser for such events.
