Fire Evacuation Chair Training
Fire Evacuation Chair Training helps staff safely support mobility-impaired individuals during emergency evacuations.
The course is designed for buildings with stairwells, multi-floor layouts, or limited lift access, where staff may need to assist people who cannot use stairs independently.
MAGG Fire Services delivers hands-on, practical training using evacuation chairs in a controlled environment. Teams learn how to respond effectively while maintaining safety, clear communication, and compliance with fire safety procedures.
During an emergency, lifts may not be available or safe to use. For buildings with stairs, multiple floors, or limited lift access, staff need to understand how to support mobility-impaired individuals safely.
Fire Evacuation Chair Training gives teams the practical knowledge needed to assist people during emergency evacuation procedures.
The course focuses on safe handling, controlled movement, communication, teamwork, and the correct use of evacuation chairs.
Training is delivered using evacuation chairs in a controlled environment, allowing staff to build confidence through supervised practice.
Participants learn how to use the chair safely, including key features such as brakes, straps, handles, tracks, and head support systems. The course also covers pre-use safety checks, safe transfer techniques, controlled stair descent procedures, and flat-surface navigation.
The training includes how Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans, also known as PEEPs, fit into wider evacuation planning.
This is especially important for premises where staff may need to assist residents, patients, students, employees, or visitors with mobility challenges. Teams learn how to coordinate effectively, communicate clearly, and follow safe procedures during an emergency evacuation.
The course gives staff practical experience using evacuation chairs safely and confidently during emergency situations.
