Hi Mary,
I have the same concerns about Evac chairs as those mentioned in Glynn's
reply.
One other point you might like to consider if the appropriate management
strategies are not in place for evacuation by means of Evac is the Fire
Brigade's attitude. I believe that unless your local FB are considered as a
fire response and evacuation service they will not be contracted to evacuate
persons from the building. I was only made aware of this the other day, but
it appears that most brigades are fire response only and do not carry out
evacuation. It would be prudent to check with your local brigade to see
what the situation is with them.
Regards, John.
