Evac Chair Training by AFW Training Limited
For employers, the benefits are clear:
- Legal compliance with fire safety, equality, and workplace safety legislation.
- Reduced organisational risk by preventing unsafe evacuations, injuries, and enforcement action.
- Improved emergency readiness with confident, competent staff who respond calmly under pressure.
- Inclusive safety culture that protects employees, visitors, and service users with reduced mobility.
- Positive audit outcomes supported by documented staff competence and robust evacuation planning.
Who is required to take Evac Chair training?
The training is designed for designated fire marshals, safety wardens, site managers, and any staff members who may need to assist individuals with mobility impairments, injuries, or disabilities during an emergency evacuation.
Does this training fulfill our legal obligations under UK fire safety laws?
Yes. Training your staff ensures compliance with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the Equality Act 2010, and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. It supports your Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) and provides documented proof of staff competence for safety audits.
How often should staff refresh their Evac Chair training?
To maintain confidence, safe practical technique, and regulatory compliance, it is strongly recommended that staff undertake refresher training annually or whenever new evacuation equipment is introduced.
Can staff practice on real stairwells during the training session?
Yes. On-site practical practice is a key part of the course. Training in your own building gives staff hands-on experience navigating your specific staircases, landings, and emergency exit routes safely and confidently.
