Be ready when it matters most.
In an emergency like a fire or power failure, it’s vital that everyone can evacuate the building safely — including those with mobility issues.
Our Evacuation Chair Training equips staff with the skills and confidence to assist safely and effectively.
This 3 to 3.5-hour session is predominantly practical, with some key theory around safety, chair design, and usage. It’s ideal for premises where stairs are present and inclusive evacuation procedures are essential.
