Safe evacuation

The key to a safe evacuation lies in having functional evacuation equipment and staff who are trained in its correct use.

 
Individuals who are unable to navigate stairs will need assistance and evacuation chairs help them to descend safely. The chairs have been designed to minimise any manual handling issues for the people carrying out the evacuation. Keeping everyone moving quickly, this equipment helps with the flow of evacuation so that everyone in the building can vacate in a timely manner.

In the event of an emergency, Escape Mobility’s Escape-Chair is ready to use within a few seconds. It can be operated by a single person, and ensures easy manoeuvring down stairs that allows for quick evacuation. Escape Mobility also provides training and servicing for all makes of evacuation equipment. In addition, it carries out building evacuation assessments, by identifying the risks and making recommendations on the types of equipment that is appropriate for your organisation.
