Training in evacuation
June 1st 2008

Evac+Chair International used this year's Safety & Health Expo as the starting point for an awareness campaign to highlight the importance of training and servicing in the emergency evacuation market.

The company's Mark Wallace explains "It's a common misconception that purchasing an emergency evacuation chair with a long product warranty is enough to comply with health and safety regulations." Evac+Chair offers customers various training options and offers a nationwide inspection and maintenance service.

There is a practical short course for employees willing to learn the simple techniques. Carried out where possible on-site, it involves 2.5h of hands-on certified training and assessment for groups of up to four individuals.

For medium or larger organisations, a higher level of training is provided. An employee who receives the Key Trainer Masterclass course is then entitled to train other employees in turn.
