On-site evacuation chair training for operators
Our Onsite Basic Operator Course gives your staff the knowledge and confidence to use your evacuation equipment safely in an emergency. Delivered at your premises, it combines a short theory session on legislation and risk assessment with hands-on practice using your own equipment, on your own stairways.
Course objectives
- A basic understanding of the regulations affecting the mobility impaired
- Prepare the equipment ready for use
- Manoeuvre the equipment to the escape route and down stairs
- Use the equipment within your workplace
- Return the equipment to its storage position
- Confidence to use the equipment in a real evacuation
How the course runs
The course lasts around 2 hours for up to 4 delegates. Keeping the group small means everyone gets hands-on time with the chair. Successful delegates receive a certificate of attendance.
Please note
Training is carried out in-house using your own evacuation equipment. Please make sure your chairs are available and accessible on the day.
