Evacuation Chair Training by Exitmaster: Essential for Safety and Compliance

Why Evacuation Chair Training is Crucial

In emergencies, safe and efficient evacuation is paramount. Exitmaster, the leading British manufacturer of evacuation chairs, provides top-tier training to ensure your team is fully prepared. Here’s why evacuation chair training is essential:

1. Safety Assurance: Proper training ensures that staff can operate evacuation chairs correctly, significantly reducing the risk of injury during emergencies.
2. Compliance with Regulations: UK health and safety regulations require businesses to have trained personnel capable of executing safe evacuations. Exitmaster’s training ensures your company meets these legal obligations.
3. Enhanced Confidence: Training boosts staff confidence in handling emergency situations, leading to quicker and more efficient evacuations.

Who Should Be Trained?

Everyone in the workplace benefits from understanding how to use evacuation chairs, but certain team members must receive thorough training:

– Designated Safety Officers: These individuals are responsible for managing emergency protocols and ensuring evacuations are conducted smoothly.

– First Responders: Staff members who are likely to be the first on the scene during an emergency should be trained to use evacuation chairs effectively.

– General Staff: While not everyone needs in-depth training, general awareness and basic operational knowledge of evacuation chairs are beneficial.

How Many Team Members Should Be Trained?

The number of team members to be trained depends on your workplace size and structure:

– Small Businesses: At least two trained personnel per floor ensure coverage in case one is unavailable.

– Medium to Large Businesses: A ratio of one trained individual for every 10-15 employees is recommended to ensure adequate coverage.

– High-Risk Environments: Additional training may be required where the risk of needing an evacuation chair is higher, such as in healthcare facilities or multi-story buildings.

Emergency Evacuation Chair Training Frequency

Regular training is critical to maintain readiness and compliance:

– Initial Training: All designated individuals should undergo comprehensive training when evacuation chairs are first installed.

– Annual Refreshers: Annual refresher courses keep skills sharp and update staff on any new procedures or equipment.

– After Major Changes: If there are significant changes in staff, building layout, or emergency procedures, additional training sessions should be scheduled.
