DESCRIPTION

The ResQpod is designed to safely evacuate a non-ambulant person from a building in an emergency situation. The Evacuee may be in a wheelchair or they may not be able to walk down stairs if the lifts are not available due to fire or an electrical failure.

The ResQpod is a bright yellow/gold colour with bright green Pulling Straps to stand out in poor light conditions. The yellow Storage Bag and Pulling Straps have some Hi Vis Tape made to Australian Standard 906.4. Many fires start at night and if the electricity is turned off, Rescuers need to find the ResQpod in poor light. When the Evacuees are pulled out of the building, also in poor light, the bright colours and reflective tape will help the outside Rescuers see the ResQpod coming, so they can assist evacuation away from the building.
