Why Training on an Evacuation Chair is Important

June 14th, 2012

For people that have limited mobility, products that can help in any way are a godsend, and when a serious incident occurs, an evacuation chair could save a life. However, it’s vitally important that prior to using one of these products you ensure that you or someone in your building is fully trained on how to use them properly. If you’re in the process of setting up a new business in a commercial property then this is one aspect you need to ensure you get just right, and here at K5, we have an extensive collection of products that are all of the highest quality. We’re confident that, no matter what you’re individual requirements are, you will find something suitable here, and our dedicated team are on hand to help.

You may be wondering why it’s so important that you have training on an evacuation chair, as essentially they don’t look too complicated to use. However, you are going to be responsible for the life of somebody else and so it’s vital that you understand how to use them effectively.

As part of Health and Safety regulations and Fire Evacuation Requirements for any building, there has to be a qualified and trained person in place that fully understands and knows how to use an evacuation chair. With the training courses that we offer, you can ensure that your business meets this proficiently.

Upon completion of one of our courses, you will have a full understanding of all elements of an evacuation chair and its purpose. You’ll also know how to use it correctly and you’ll get an understanding of how the user will feel when in the evacuation chair; making you more sympathetic towards their needs.

Furthermore, to ensure you are always compliant with legislation, we also offer ‘Train the trainer’ or ‘Cascade Trainers’ courses’, whereby you will become a trainer for your building, so that should someone leave or you require another delegated person to be responsible, you will be able to carry out the training to high standards.

If you require any further assistance, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us here at K5 on 01234 354 539 today.
