We at NEWI Wrexham are establishing a 'Learning Centre', seeking to
respond to students' differing needs.
Apparently, the only space available to us is on the 5th Floor
of a brand new large Library building with lift access.
We have concerns about evacuation
procedures, as users may well have restricted mobility.
Has any body had any brilliant ideas whereby those who need
assistance and those providing assistance can avoid being injured
(It is suggested that carrying people is the only option!)
Evacuation chairs and 'refuges' seem to have their own disadvantages.
We are involving our excellent local Access Group, but wonder if
there are any lateral thinkers out there who could suggest how we 'advise' our estates /health and
safety people?
