Expert Knowledge
How much does an Equipment Access Audit cost?
We provide our access audits complimentary. We pride ourselves on our abilities to offer exactly what the client needs with the aim of building long-term relationships.
Can you use an evacuation chair to go upstairs?
Yes, but we do not recommend it as the correct procedure. Using an evacuation chair to go upstairs requires a team to carry it, and with the chair’s load capacity of 180 kilos, this means two people would need to carry both the person and the chair, which can be hazardous.
Is there an alternative to carrying evacuation chairs upstairs?
Motorised stair climbers, that we provide, are a great alternative. As part of our access audit, we can demonstrate the use and benefits of these to you.
Does a wheelchair user have to transfer to an evacuation chair in event of an emergency?
No, they do not have to transfer. Wheelchair users can stay in their wheelchair and be attached to a stair climber for safe and quick evacuation during an emergency.
What is a GEEP?
A General Emergency Evacuation Plan (GEEP) is a standardised evacuation plan designed to ensure the safe and efficient evacuation of all individuals within a building or facility during an emergency. GEEPs are developed to address the needs of the general population, focusing on clear procedures, designated evacuation routes, and effective communication methods. This plan typically covers aspects such as identifying safe exits, assigning responsibilities to staff, and ensuring that all occupants are aware of the evacuation procedures. GEEPs are essential for maintaining safety and compliance in any workplace or public building.
What is a PEEP?
A Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) is designed for individuals who may require additional assistance during an evacuation, such as those with physical disabilities, mobility impairments, sensory impairments (e.g., vision or hearing loss), or other specific needs. PEEPs are tailored to each individual’s requirements, ensuring they have a safe and effective evacuation plan. This could involve customised evacuation routes, the use of assistive devices, or designated staff members assigned to provide assistance. PEEPs are crucial for ensuring that everyone, regardless of their abilities, can evacuate safely in an emergency.
