Training courses
Hands-on evacuation chair training that gives staff the confidence to use the equipment safely when somebody needs help to evacuate.
Find your course
There are two quite different needs here: staff who may have to use the chair, and people you want to train others. Choose the course around the job you actually need them to do.
Hands-on operator training for staff who may need to use an evacuation chair and assist someone with reduced mobility during an evacuation.
For organisations that need internal trainers who can demonstrate the equipment, supervise practice and keep staff competence up to date.
Tell us which chair you have and where it is used. Training is far more valuable when it reflects the actual equipment, stairs and evacuation arrangements.

Did you know?
An evacuation chair is only useful if people know where it is, can get it ready and have practised using it. Reading the instructions for the first time during an evacuation is not a good plan.
About the training
Evacuation chairs are there for a moment when people may already be under pressure. Staff need more than a quick demonstration: they need the chance to handle the equipment, understand the route and practise the parts of the process they may actually be responsible for.
Training typically includes the chair itself, pre-use checks, positioning, communication with the person being assisted, safe operation on stairs, roles and responsibilities, and what the organisation needs to consider before relying on the equipment.
Where possible, we use your own chair and evacuation route so staff are practising with the equipment and environment they will actually face.
Yes. If you need competent people to deliver your internal evacuation chair training, we also provide Train the Trainer options. That is a different role from simply being able to operate the chair, so we treat it as a separate training need.
