“The installation of evacuation chairs has been an important addition to our existing approach to emergency evacuation and training,” explains health and safety coordinator Fiona Duff. “Providing personalised support for students and staff with mobility problems is crucial, not only in terms of accessibility but also with regard to complying with necessary legislation.”
The college’s personalised emergency evacuation plans incorporate thorough training, drills and consultation, ensuring the newly-fitted chairs serve their purpose in the event of an urgent situation.
Forth Valley College’s health and safety department has taken part in a Key Trainer Masterclass from Evac+Chair which allows participants to pass on their newly-developed skills to educate others and goes a long way toward ensuring procedures are properly retained.
