Ambulance Service Equipment Ireland

Safety Equipment Ireland supplies equipment to ambulance services, patient transport providers, event medical teams and voluntary responders across Ireland. The catalogue covers stretchers, immobilisation equipment, emergency bags, resuscitation and airway products and patient transfer supports, all supplied on a quotation basis.

safetyequipment.ie is owned and operated by Phoenix STS, the fire safety and health and safety consultancy and training provider. Spencer emergency and rescue equipment is distributed in Ireland through this catalogue, alongside patient transfer and immobilisation ranges from other manufacturers.

Choosing patient handling and transfer equipment

Stretcher and carry chair selection is driven by the vehicles, the crews and the patients. The questions that decide most purchases are how the stretcher loads and fastens in the vehicle, whether it fits the mounting hardware already in the fleet, what the unit weighs when a two-person crew lifts it with a patient on board, and what patient sizes the service needs to provide for, including bariatric transfers.

Ambulance and patient transport crews lift and move people for a living, so the manual handling duties in the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 sit at the centre of equipment selection. The Act requires employers to assess manual handling risk and reduce it. In plain terms, the right stretcher, carry chair or transfer aid is often the control measure that protects a crew's backs over a full shift.

Compatibility matters more in this sector than in any other. When requesting a quotation, include the vehicle types, the stretcher and mounting models already in service and any fastening requirements, so the sales team can check fit before quoting.

Immobilisation and on-scene equipment

Immobilisation equipment, including spine boards, splints and vacuum products, is selected around the casualty types a team encounters and the storage space in the vehicle. Emergency bags should be specified around the team's own clinical kit list rather than the other way around, so list the contents the bag must carry in the enquiry.
