Legislation Requirements

Equal opportunity and health and safety requirements are guided by a number of current legislations. Evac+Chair evacuation chairs provide a solution to the evacuation needs of those who are less able or injured, in both commercial and residential applications. Legislation requirements to be met by building operators and employers include:

Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 – Means of escape
Building Regulations Parts B and M – Building use and access
BS5588-8:1999 – Providing disabled people with measures to be assisted in an emergency
Equality Act 2009 – Ensuring that disabled people are not at a disadvantage compared to those that are not disabled
DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) – Providing adequate access and facilities for any disabled person who may enter a building

Evac+Chairs are Class I Medical Devices with their installation and use regulated under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). Employers, self-employed people, and those employed to supervise or manage equipment are responsible for ensuring that a reasonable amount of staff are adequately trained to use Evac+Chairs safely, that the chairs are annually serviced by a qualified engineer, and that they are regularly inspected by a competent worker.
