Evacuation Training
Fire Evacuation Training is a program used to prepare individuals and businesses for safely responding to an emergency and evacuating a building or area in the event of a fire. Importantly, there are legislations to review when it comes to handling mobility-impaired individuals in emergencies. Overall, this training course is essential to ensure the safety of occupants in buildings and to reduce the risk of injuries or fatalities during a fire incident.

Evacuation Chair Training
You may have a need for evacuation chair training if you have vulnerable people within your premises. This training is especially important if there is a lift in your environment, as fire emergencies mean lifts cannot be used. In these rare cases, having the correct evacuation chair training can mean the difference between life and death.
This course trains the responsible person(s) to safely and effectively use an evacuation chair. It demonstrates safe techniques that protect both the chair occupant and the chair operators.
There is also a legal obligation for organisations not to discriminate against those with a disability, so being able to successfully evacuate everyone from your premises is both an ethical and legal requirement.
Up to 12 people per course
Each delegate receives a certificate of completion
