About this course
In an emergency, elevators cannot be used for evacuation, so stairs are the main escape route from a facility for all persons. Where a person with a mobility impairment must be evacuated via stairs, evacuation chairs can be used to aid with this. Would your staff know how to use an evacuation chair when needed?
Our evacuation chair training (also known as ‘evac chair training’) provides vital information on how your staff can assemble an evacuation chair, when an evacuation chair is required to be used, how to use an evacuation chair to safely evacuate people with mobility impairments and understand the relevant evacuation chair legislation. This course is suitable for anyone and will allow them to become the responsible person for aiding people who need the evacuation chair.
Ensure that your business meets legal obligations, is up-to-date with new regulations and that your staff are adequately trained in emergency escape procedures for all, including the mobility impaired.
