Why DEP Matters

Work at height, structural access limitations, and complex industrial layouts create evacuation challenges that require engineered solutions. A DEP provides a controlled, compliant method to move personnel, equipment, and injured workers between elevations using crane support.

Without a planned evacuation method, projects face:

• Delayed emergency response in elevated zones
• Increased risk exposure during rescue operations
• Regulatory and OH&S compliance gaps
• Limited access for medical or safety teams

DEP deployment ensures rescue capability is engineered into the project rather than improvised.

Why Choose Irwin’s Safety

Engineered for Industrial Environments

The DEP is a robust steel constructed platform specifically designed for lifting operations and repeated site use.

Designed for Mobility and Deployment Efficiency

Lightweight construction and a collapsible canopy allow for easier transportation, staging, and repositioning on active worksites.

Certified for Regulatory Compliance

All units are WorkSafeBC certified and meet WCB safety requirements, supporting compliance across regulated Canadian workplaces.

Integrated Rescue Capability

Each DEP is supplied with essential rescue equipment to support emergency readiness directly from the platform.

DEP Equipment Features

Every Dedicated Evacuation Platform includes critical components required for safe lifting and rescue operations:

• Stretcher and spine board for patient transport
• Harnesses and shock absorbing lanyards for fall protection
• Four leg cable sling and shackles for crane rigging
• Emergency blankets and securing straps
• Crane block cable integration for lifting connection

This configuration allows teams to deploy a complete evacuation solution without assembling separate rescue systems.
