Evacuation Chair Training and Legislation

Under the Disabled Discrimination Act 2005, it is unlawful to discriminate against any person in regard to their employment and this includes evacuation of your premises in the event of a fire.

Being left behind in a stairwell or refuge whilst other colleagues are leaving is not only harmful, it is a breach of the regulations.

Health and Care will come along to your business premises and carry out effective training on your equipment. In addition, a short course covers risk assessment and legislation.
