Evacuation Chair Training

Be ready when it matters most.

In an emergency, seconds count—and safe evacuation of everyone, including individuals with limited mobility, is essential. Our Evacuation Chair Training gives your team the practical skills and confidence they need to act quickly, calmly, and correctly.

This hands-on course is designed for fire marshals, safety leads, and any staff responsible for supporting emergency evacuation. Delivered by experienced fire safety professionals, it ensures your team can operate Evac Chairs with skill and assurance.

Why this training matters

Evacuation chairs are vital for safely moving people down stairwells during a fire or emergency—especially in buildings with multiple floors. But without proper training, using them can be dangerous for both the user and the individual being evacuated.

It’s not just good practice—it’s a legal requirement under UK fire safety law.

What your team will learn

This course combines practical training with real-world scenarios. By the end, attendees will:

Understand when and how to use an Evac Chair
Safely assemble, adjust, and operate the chair
Know evacuation routes and best practices
Build confidence through guided, hands-on exercises
Recognise different types of chairs and their features
Apply safe evacuation techniques in a high-stress environment

Each participant receives individual certification, and the course meets current UK fire safety regulations.
