Practical handling
Positioning
RescueSheet fits permanently under the mattress, with the red
straps down and fastened to the corners with elastic cords.
Use
In an evacuation emergency, pull out the red straps and lay over
the bed. Then fasten these straps to the straps on the other side,
and tighten so that the mattress bends upwards on each side.
Use the handle at the top of the bed and pull the user and
mattress gently off the bed frame. Hold the handle high, giving
the user maximum protection when the mattress touches the floor.
The loose ends of the red straps must be placed on the side
not touching the wall.
The user can now be transferred out of the room, and out to
safety. The mattress and bed covering protect the user against
blows, jolts and the cold.
