SHOW GUIDE
Evac+Chair Stand SH3056
Evac+Chair is focusing on ‘who is responsible’ for safe evacuation when it showcases its acclaimed evacuation chair at the Safety & Health Expo.
Having robust emergency evacuation plans that take account of the needs of the mobility impaired is more important now than ever, as the UK government is looking to tighten regulations around fire safety and evacuation in multi-storey buildings as part of its response to the Grenfell fire in 2017.
At the same time, the Office for National Statistics has confirmed a year-on-year increase in people with disabilities joining the UK workforce, increasing by 34% to 3.9 million between 2013 to 2018.
If individuals with mobility problems are not to be left stranded and unable to escape in an emergency, their needs must be directly addressed in health and safety planning. Especially important is the detailing of roles and responsibilities:
• Who is ultimately responsible for the safe evacuation from a building?
• Who needs to draw up the policy and who should be involved in its development?
• How should the plans and procedure be tested and how often should they be reviewed?
• What about risk assessment, training and maintenance?
These questions shouldn’t just form part of a tick- box exercise – they should be an integral part of an organisation’s culture that is committed to protecting the vulnerable and, ultimately, saving lives.
The company has been manufacturing its extensive Evac+Chair range in the UK for more than 30 years, working closely with a wide variety of organisations to help plan and prepare for safe evacuation. Its expert team will be on hand to share best practice, deliver hands-on product demonstrations and answer questions in relation to the critical elements of evacuation planning and risk management.
