Essential emergency evacuation chairs and accessories for the work place

Why your business needs an evacuation chair

The safety and well-being of your staff should be enough to motivate any employer to assess risks and protect them as far as possible, but it’s also the law. Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations Act 1999, it is stated that a “suitable and sufficient” risk assessment must be carried out by an employer.

The Fire Regulatory Reform Act 2005 also states it is the responsibility of business owners to ensure an evacuation plan is in place for everyone in the building, which brings us to evacuation chairs.

How many evacuation chairs do I need?

Potential buyers of evacuation chairs often ask how many they need for their environment. This is where a risk assessment comes in. While there is no concrete answer to this question, a general rule of thumb is that you should have as many chairs as you have potential users per floor. Using this as a guide to work from, you can then assess and take into account additional factors which could affect the number of chairs required and their locations.
