A winner at Twickenham
May 1st 2009 Evac+Chairs from Evac+Chair
International are now in place at
Twickenham Stadium to provide a
quick and safe means of emergency
stairway descent for mobility
impaired visitors.
The 82,500 capacity stadium has a
large number of mobility impaired
people attending matches and events.
As such, the stadium had to make
provisions for transporting them
downstairs in the event of lift failure,
particularly in the south stand where
the mobility impaired seating area is
in the middle tier not at lower floor
level. They also needed to be able to
move people with a medical
emergency from within the seating
bowl downstairs to a level landing in
order for medical teams to take over.
On choosing the Evac+Chair for
both functions Ken Taylor, safety and
event manager at Twickenham said,
"We saw the Evac+Chair at a Health
and Safety Exhibition and it was by
far the best product available for our
needs. It is widely used because it is
effective, reliable and easy to operate." More articles from Evac+Chair International Ltd: |
