Evacuation

Whether you’re looking for an evacuation chair, sheet, or mattress for your facility, we’ve got the evacuation equipment you need here at CLH Healthcare. There is a common misunderstanding that it is the responsibility of the emergency services to ensure everyone evacuates from a building safely. But, in the United Kingdom, it is actually a legal requirement for employers of care establishments and service providers to ensure the safe evacuation of mobility impaired persons in the event of an emergency. The evacuation equipment you see here will ensure you maintain compliance with statutory obligations for your residents and staff.

The evacuation chairs in our care equipment range can be used to evacuate residents who are not able to transport themselves in a range of emergency situations, including in the case of fires. You can use an evacuation chair for stairways which is vital in situations when lifts can’t be used. You’ll find the established and reliable Globex evacuation chair in this range, as well as a selection of other fire evacuation chairs.

There are a selection of other evacuation essentials to browse here at CLH too, including evacuation sheets and mats, and emergency evacuation sledges which come in a handy storage bag and can be wall-mounted for ease of access.

In addition to the supply of emergency and fire evacuation equipment, we can deliver training on use of the equipment. Under HSE Regulation PUWER 98, organisations must have their evacuation equipment serviced annually and their teams must have refresher training. We currently charge standard operator training out at £450 + vat for the first six delegates and £150 for every additional six on the same day.
