Evac+Chair launches guide to emergency evacuation

Available to download from the Evac+Chair website, the guide emphasises why businesses must provide an emergency plan for dealing with a situation involving fire. It details the main procedures under the Fire Safety Order that workplaces must adhere to including a fire risk assessment which will identify any possible dangers and consider those who may be especially at risk.

Gerard Wallace, managing director at Evac+Chair International, says: “A fire emergency evacuation plan (FEEP) is a required emergency procedure for any business. It’s essential for all businesses to have a building evacuation plan and evaluate the level of risk present to be sure that, when an emergency does arise, everyone is as safeguarded as possible.

“During Business Safety Week, Evac+Chair is offering free evacuation advice from certified Evac+Chair trainers.”
