What a stretcher is used for
When a worker is hurt and should not walk, a stretcher keeps the body flat and still while moving them. Factories, plants, construction sites, warehouses, schools, hospitals and housing societies keep one in or near the first aid room. A foldable model takes little space and can be carried quickly to where it is needed.
A stretcher is the right choice when the person should lie flat, for example after a fall, a suspected back or leg injury, or when they have fainted. For people who can sit up but cannot walk, an evacuation chair is often quicker to use in corridors and lifts. Many sites keep both.

How to choose and keep a stretcher
- Where: keep it in a marked spot in the first aid room or near the main work area, where it can be fetched fast.
- How many: one per building or block is common; large plants and campuses keep one per area.
- Routes: check that corridors, doors and lifts are wide enough for the stretcher, and keep the routes clear.
- Who uses it: train the first aid team to place a person on it, carry it level and move it safely.
- Upkeep: check the canvas, joints and wheels every month.
