Current legislation requires all employers and service providers to ensure the safe evacuation of all users of their buildings in the event of an emergency without the assistance of the emergency services.

This can create a problem for safely evacuating physically impaired persons such as disabled, elderly or injured people from upper floor levels of buildings when lifts can not be used due to an emergency, power failure or maintenance.

A common solution is the use of an evacuation chair. Currently there are many types of evacuation chairs on the market and they can vary in price from around £650.00 to £1600.00 but they are not all the same and some may not be suitable for your requirements !

Some require comprehensive training and have only two fixed wheels that require the operator to balance the chair before a user can get in it which can lead to safety issues for both the operator and the user. Others require various clips to be manually secured before the chair can be operated.

In the event of an emergency an evacuation chair that is easy to deploy and simple to operate is essential. GLOBEX Evacuation Chairs provides both these things and are available from as little as just £599.00 + VAT.
