Emergency Evacuation Equipment Training

Stockcode:

Emergency evacuation plans should never be reliant on the intervention of the Fire and Rescue Service to work. Therefore, it is of paramount importance that staff are fully trained in what to do in an emergency evacuation situation and how to use the evacuation equipment available to them.

Organisations who fail to provide emergency evacuation equipment and appropriate training also fail to comply with their legal obligations under the Fire Precautions (Workplace) Regulation 2006, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the Disability Discrimination Act 1995.

At Hospital Aids we offer, certified onsite training on our range of evacuation chairs and mats/pads; this training will ensure that staff are familiar with and know how to properly use their chosen evacuation equipment.

Our evacuation aids facilitate the swift movement of individuals needing assistance during an emergency, ensuring they reach a safe area quickly. They are designed with a focus on patient comfort and security, as well as the safety of the operators.
Our ‘Ski’ range has been utilised in notable evacuations, including the Royal Marsden Hospital fire in 2008. During this incident, staff successfully evacuated over 40 patients from the fourth floor on their mattresses using our Ski Sheets.
