COVER STORY EVACUATION WITH DIGNITY
Here, supplier of Evacuation and Access Solutions, Evaccess provides advice on how to ensure that people with reduced mobility can get out of a building in a safe and dignified manner.
Everybody should have equality, choice and independence in their daily lives, it is therefore essential to carefully consider how all building users can evacuate safely in event of an emergency.
When deciding what kind of evacuation chair to buy then it’s vital to think about all options: what disability are you catering for? What are the stairs and landings like? Do you need to go both up and down stairs? How strong are the people who will operate the equipment? Do you have a high turnover of staff?
The likelihood is that people with disabilities will enter your building so it’s essential to offer them the most suitable means of escape.
If providing a solution for a wheelchair user, why would you insist that they leave their wheelchair behind in case of emergency evacuation and what happens when they are outside and their wheelchair is inside?
Evaccess are the authorised suppliers of the TRE52 and TRE70 that can take people and their powered or manual wheelchairs up and down stairs with the push of a button. Portable, powered and easy to use, these are just two of the many options available to you from Evaccess.
If you need help choosing equipment or making sure it is suitable for your situation, Evaccess can provide consulting, product demos, site surveys and more.
It is important to consider your staff. Is your team confident using the chairs you have? Are they at the risk of injury by taking someone heavier than themselves? Do they practice on a regular basis to maintain competency?
