With the D.D.A and the R.R.O 2005 now firmly established, employers and building operators must ensure that they provide adequate means of escape for all occupants of buildings. Within the care sector this can be particularly challenging. The Evac+Chair, from Evac+Chair International Limited, is a universal evacuation chair widely accepted as the market leading solution for stairway descent for the mobility impaired.

 

The secret behind the smooth operation of the Evac+Chair is the interface of specially modified V-Belts continuously working to slow the descent over stair nosings in proportion to the weight of the passenger. No lifting is necessary and no one need be left behind after their able-bodied colleagues have left the building. The provision of the correct equipment will assist management in providing adequate means of escape for all mobility impaired persons. The strategic placing of Evac+Chairs throughout the building, together with required drills, will help organisations meet their responsibilities under heath, safety and equal opportunity legislations.

 

The Evac+Chair which is easily operated, with a single user able to evacuate a colleague after a brief training session, has proven its importance in life safety around the world.

 

Along with our new Evac+Chair 300H MK4 and the Evac+Chair 440, we also offer a number of other evacuation solutions so suit each individual building. For more details please contact:
