Evacuation Chair & Sledge Training

Evacuation Chair and Sledge Training

Did you know that UK Government guidelines state that in the event of an emergency, evacuation chairs are the preferred means of evacuating a building for those who are disabled? This also applies to those who have mental health troubles, are pregnant or who need assistance. Evacuation chair & sledge training is therefore a legal requirement where these are installed.

Did you know:

Government guidelines state that any evacuation equipment training should include:

• disability awareness,
• disability evacuation etiquette,
• moving, lifting and handling techniques.

There’s a very good chance that you will not get this training from other providers.

Chris Garland Training believe in quality training, which is why we don’t offer half-day courses as you simply can’t cover everything properly in just 2-3 hours.

Learn how to use evacuation chairs and sledges at our training centre in Cheshire. You’ll learn how to use a range of models, including the market leading Evac+Chair 300H. We also train staff on the use of the Ibex Transeat; perfect for smaller stairways.
