Learn the methods of safe and effective Evacuation Chair/Mat Use in the event of an Emergency.

Training Approved by Skills for Care

Many buildings are required to have evacuation chairs or mats in place to support the safe emergency evacuation of people with reduced mobility. This course covers the safe use of evacuation chairs and mats, helping learners develop the knowledge and practical competence needed to use the equipment correctly and confidently.

The course includes practical modules using the evacuation chair or mat to ensure learners can apply their training in real-life situations.

We also supply evacuation chairs if you need to purchase equipment, and we can provide package options that include both the training and one or more evacuation chairs.
