Evacuation Sheet: Permanent Under-Mattress Emergency Evacuation for Care Settings
The Alerta Evacuation Sheet is a high-capacity emergency evacuation device that permanently attaches beneath the mattress, deploying instantly when needed.
During a fire or emergency, the sheet wraps around the mattress and patient, converting the bed into a slide-capable evacuation platform. The 350kg capacity supports evacuation of bariatric and standard patients. Two-person operation enables controlled evacuation along corridors and down staircases. The permanent under-mattress positioning eliminates retrieval time during emergencies.

Clinical and Regulatory Compliance
Emergency evacuation equipment forms part of fire safety obligations under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
CQC Regulation 12 requires adequate emergency evacuation procedures for all residents including those with reduced mobility. The evacuation sheet should be documented within each relevant resident's personal emergency evacuation plan (PEEP). Staff must receive regular training in its deployment as part of mandatory fire safety drills.
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should staff be trained on this evacuation sheet?
Fire safety legislation requires regular training for all care staff. Most care home policies mandate quarterly evacuation drills with hands-on equipment training during induction. The sheet should be included in PEEP documentation for each relevant resident.
Does the sheet need to be replaced after use in a drill?
The evacuation sheet is designed for multiple uses including drill practice. Inspect after each drill for tears, stitching damage, or handle wear. Replace if any component shows visible damage that could compromise safety during a real evacuation.
