Evacuation chair train the trainer course
Our Onsite Train the Trainer Course is for key members of staff responsible for assisting the evacuation of the mobility impaired. It gives them the skills and knowledge to cascade basic evacuation chair training to colleagues within your organisation.
What the course covers
A PowerPoint theory session followed by a practical session using your own equipment. The theory covers:
- Current UK legislation
- Those who may need assistance
- Possible reasons to evacuate
- Where to locate evacuation equipment
- Evacuation do’s and don’ts
Course objectives
- A basic understanding of the regulations affecting the mobility impaired
- Prepare, manoeuvre and use the equipment, including down stairs
- Return the equipment to its storage position
- Answer colleagues’ questions and assist in preparing a PEEP
- Run your own training sessions and safely instruct others
How the course runs
The course lasts around 3 to 4 hours for up to 4 delegates. Delegates receive a certificate of attendance and a downloadable Trainer’s Pack to support their own sessions.
Please note
This course qualifies delegates to train colleagues in-house only. It is not a commercial training certificate. Training is carried out using your own evacuation equipment.
