Fire Evacuation Chair / Evacuation Sheet Training
The Fire Evacuation Chair Training course helps you prepare to safely evacuate people with temporary or permanent mobility impairments.

Course Description
These courses comply with the Disability Discrimination Act 2005 & Equality Act 2010. It is important that steps are taken and documented to show your commitment to EVERYONE being able to evacuate your premises or depending on your evacuation plan, get to a place of ‘relative safety’ at a refuge point.
The aim of the course is to assist in your pre-planning for those who may be temporarily or permanently mobility impaired. This may not always be a member of staff, it could easily be a visitor to your premises.
The importance of fire safety in the workplace is underpinned by health and safety legislation that places a duty on employers to establish policies and procedures and ensure their employees receive appropriate training.
We look to give every delegate a chance to use the chair / sheet practically in your premises, as both the person assisting and the person being assisted.
Each participant receives a certificate after successfully completing the course.

We have employed the services of 1st Choice Safety Training & Consultancy for around 8 years to carry out the Fire Training to all of our staff.
They provided 3 levels of training, Fire Awareness for all staff, Fire Marshal for those tasked with this role and Incident Leader training for our Senior Managers to administer a real situation. All with live fire practical training.
Feedback has always been brilliant, our staff love the fact that our training will be provided by experienced Firefighters meaning our staff can learn from their vast experiences.
We have also utilised 1st Choice for site Fire Risk Assessments and Fire Door Inspections and have helped to implement new fire strategies and plans.
We’d always recommend 1st Choice for your fire training & services and look forward to working with them going forward.
