Why would you need an Evac Chair?

In the UK, current legislation and standards state that all people should be evacuated from a building if there is an emergency such as a fire. Many Building Managers, as part of a solution to the problem, have introduced ‘refuge areas’. Unfortunately, there is a common misunderstanding that refuge areas are places to leave people with disabilities to wait for the fire service to effect their escape. This policy is fundamentally flawed. Refuge areas are only relatively safe waiting areas for short periods of time.

They are not areas where people with disabilities should be left indefinitely until rescued by the fire service, or until the fire is extinguished.

The traditional method of providing means of escape assumes that building users are non-disabled people. The presumption of independent capability to use steps and stairs for egress is clearly inadequate when considering the safety of some people with disabilities.

That is why K-Five has launched into the UK a range of proven evacuation chairs, sometimes called evac chair, specifically designed to facilitate the safe and speedy evacuation of people with disabilities or those with walking difficulties.

The installation of a safety chair at your premises is essential if you have people with disabilities working or using a building. Because a safety chair can be operated by one person it is ideal for evacuating disabled people out of building and can SAVE LIVES!
