Refresher Training Courses for Evacuation Chair
Keep your staff up to date with the use of your evacuation equipment and help them retain the knowledge and confidence they require to operate it safely and effectively
Who should attend?
Existing evacuation equipment operators only
So you have the emergency evacuation equipment your staff requires, the people you need to operate it correctly, and an evacuation plan in place in the event of a real emergency …
… But more than six months have passed since your staff last trained on the equipment and you don’t have the resources to carry out the required refresher training in house.
Can you still be confident that your evacuation equipment plan is adequate in the event of an emergency?
If your business owns emergency evacuation equipment, you have a responsibility to ensure up-to-date training for the people you’re appointing to operate it. Our refresher training course for evacuation chairs is designed to take away the stress of making sure your staff stay fit for purpose. Our trainers will visit you at your site and carry out a recorded session to keep you compliant.
Regular retraining builds confidence and improves technique, making you more proficient providing faster and safer evacuations
To remain compliant with Government legislation, your business is responsible for ensuring operators of evacuation chairs and emergency evacuation equipment are as prepared as possible for the safe evacuation of vulnerable people.
By providing certified practical training sessions, assessing your individual requirements and revisiting your specific needs at regular intervals, we can ensure your business continues to operate within the requirements of The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
Regular training sessions and maintenance intervals are detailed in the evacuation chair regulations outlined in RRO & BS9999 and PUWER standards, of which all of our products adhere to. CE93/42 is the European Directive Standard for medical safety devices and, historically, there will be a large number of evacuation chairs that carry this kitemark prior to Brexit. This directive requires the same regulation as the BS9999 standard.
Our refresher training courses are designed to remove any holes in your team’s knowledge by revisiting key modules that relate to your specific organisation and premises.
Rebuild confidence among your emergency equipment operators and ensure you and your business meet the relevant Government requirements.
Maintain your staff’s familiarity with your evacuation equipment
Revisiting the practical learning sessions delivered by our team of certified instructors provides your evacuation equipment operators with the confidence they need to complete their task.
If it’s been a while since your staff were certified trained in the use of their equipment, without refresher training they may not stay fit for purpose and be less effective in an emergency evacuation. Operators must know at all times where the equipment is stored, how to prepare and use it, and they must be aware of the best route to the muster point.
If you have failed to adopt the regular six monthly practice sessions and record these it is vital that you adopt a refresher course for the safety of all passengers and operators
We will refresh your knowledge on, among other things, deploying & loading, balance point and descending down the stairs, along with an assessment of the safe passage and routes out of the building.
With our expertise, this refresher course provides your staff with the confidence and knowledge they require to complete their task with the same efficiency as they did after their initial training.
Remember: Government legislation stipulates that operators are as prepared as possible for the safe evacuation of those who require assistance exiting your premises.
If you’re unsure what you’re looking for, or need bespoke training, get in touch and we will be more than happy to advise.
