Tips On Looking After Your Evac Chair

It’s crucial that all evacuation gear is checked regularly for defects to guarantee it’s in optimum working condition. In an ideal world, this should be done at least once every year. In fact, it’s a legal obligation for all businesses to do so under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations act (PUWER) which states that businesses have a duty to preserve any equipment that is used by its workers within the office. However, some businesses do not have the time or resources to carry out this vital role. Once it has been bought, stowed away, or fastened securely to the wall, the only time it may come to mind again would be in a real emergency situation, which, fortunately, does not happen regularly. For the remainder of the time, it’s in danger of becoming part of the corridor furniture and left. Other motives to use the Evac Chairs and other equipment could include if a mobility-impaired person cannot make it to the lower levels of a building due to a power outage or equipment failure.

If you’re a business owner you’re lawfully in charge of ensuring that your emergency evacuation gear is in good working order. Every Evac Chair you purchase from us here a t Sure Line should come with a Visual Inspection Checklist, which itemises all of the chair’s features that need regular checking so that you don’t have to worry too much if your diary is in order.

Sure Line offer training and servicing for your evacuation chairs. Insurance policies will require you to have your evacuation chairs serviced on an annual basis, training should be done every two years.

Most of our Evac Chairs are wall mounted and they also fold away unobtrusively, making it the textbook solution to ensure your establishment is in compliance with the up-to-the-minute health, safety, and fire regulations.

In order to meet fire and safety regulations, remember that it’s vital for all large scale structures to offer acceptable evacuation products for those in need of them if this crisis happen.

For further information on the evacuation chairs we have to offer, please give a ring if there’s anything you haven’t already seen an answer to on the site. We are here to help you get the best equipment possible.
