Evacuation Chair – Train the Trainer

Our ‘Train the Trainer’ course is ideal if you have a large number or a high turnover of staff and wish to be able to train your staff in-house on the safe and correct use of evacuation equipment. 

Our ‘Evacuation Chair – Train the Trainer’ course is a comprehensive training course that trains participants on how to correctly use an evacuation chair and how to confidently train others on its proper use.

Evacuation chairs are vehicles used to transport any person who is unable to move under their own power from upper floors in an emergency situation, such as when lifts are either not working or they are unsafe to use. They can also be used to transport incapacitated/injured people in large buildings along ground floors to a place of safety. 

On successful completion of the course, delegates will be able to provide training to other members of staff so that they can be evacuation chair operators. This course will help your business comply with its legal duty under The Fire Safety Order (2005).
