Urgent training

Harvest Housing Group is set to install more than 60 specialist evacuation chairs across 30 of its complexes.

To ensure optimal safety conditions within the housing communities, the group's employees have undertaken training with Evac+Chair specialists.

The Key Trainer Master Class programme provides training on how to assist someone in using the equipment in an urgent situation and enables trained staff to instruct other colleagues.

A recent survey by Evac+Chair revealed that in the current economic climate many companies no longer have trained employees responsible for health and safety equipment. While 73% have transferred this responsibility, 40% of the companies surveyed had not yet been trained in using this equipment.
