Since its release in 1990 the EMERGENCY RESPONSE BELT® (ERB) has been used use by virtually every profession that has to handle violent or injured individuals. The ERB has proven its use and effectiveness within these areas faster than any device in United States history.
For practical and daily use, the ERB has proven throughout the United States to reduce injuries and potential litigation. The capabilities of moving and transporting violent persons within any facility as well as the use by police in booking/intake areas, transports to court, for Correctional Emergency Response Teams, EMT’s Paramedics and Hospital’s has made the ERB one of the fastest accepted devices ever developed for professions who manage violent persons.
Itis one of the first defensive and restraining pieces of equipment that receives nearly immediate approval by administrators to be carried by staff because of its “Non-Weapon Status”. The ERB has proven to reduce injuries and subsequent litigation.
With the ERB being utilized by numerous professions within facilities and in the field, it provides tremendous court credibility for those employing its humane techniques. Made of tough cloth the various Emergency Response Belt training programs are profession specific with each program tailored for the required uses of its staff in handling violent subjects. The basics of control, restraint, transport and movement are generic and used by all disciplines. In addition, the ERB is not and will not be sold without certified training. This has been a key issue with the nationally established credibility with the device since its introduction in 1990.
