Evacuation Equipment | Evacuation Chairs
Evacuation equipment is a vital part of any building’s safety plan, ensuring that everyone—including those with mobility issues or disabilities—can be safely and quickly evacuated during an emergency. In situations where lifts can’t be used, equipment like evacuation chairs or sledges provide a reliable means of escape. Not only does this support life safety, but it also helps you meet legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010 and fire safety regulations. Having the right evacuation equipment in place shows a clear commitment to protecting all building occupants.
Evacuation Chairs
Why Evacuation Chairs are one of the best Solutions
Evacuation chairs are incredibly important because they provide a safe, practical, and inclusive solution for evacuating people with limited mobility during emergencies—especially when lifts are unusable due to fire or power failure. Without them, individuals who can't use stairs are at serious risk of being left behind or delayed during critical moments.
​
What makes evacuation chairs the best option is their simplicity, speed, and versatility. They are lightweight, foldable, and easy to deploy by a single trained person. Designed to glide smoothly down staircases with minimal effort, they reduce physical strain on staff and increase evacuation speed. Many models include safety straps, braking systems, and ergonomic seating to ensure both comfort and security during use.
​
Evac chairs are not just a best practice—they’re often the most effective and reliable tool for ensuring full evacuation compliance under fire safety laws and the Equality Act 2010. They help organisations demonstrate a clear duty of care while enhancing overall emergency preparedness.
