Ensure Your Evac Chairs Are Clearly Signposted

Importance of evacuation chairs

Evacuation chairs are lightweight but sturdy Class 1 medical devices used to transport people from buildings during emergencies. Specifically designed for use on stairwells, these innovations have wheels and adjustable tracks to safely evacuate incapacitated people down stairs.

Operators require initial and refresher training. Typically, multi-level buildings should have one evac chair on every floor and indicated locations with clear signage. However, risk assessments must consider the typical demographics of building occupants. In special instances, more than one piece of emergency egress equipment may be necessary for everyone to escape safely, in an emergency.

Importance of an evacuation chair sign

Safety signs of all kinds are a vital measure wherever there is a risk to the health and safety of people. As well as drawing attention to hazards, such signs also serve to inform and guide individuals.

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) emphasises the importance of safety and emergency signs. It also highlights the fact that it is the responsibility of building owners and employers to ensure the necessary signage is in place.

This responsibility includes:

  • Maintaining emergency and safety signs
  • Training employees so that they fully understand what each sign means

According to the HSE, safety signs, regardless of symbol or application adhesive used, must be clear and legible. They must communicate where to locate evac equipment and contain directions to these special evacuation routes.

“Signs must be clear and legible, and should be used to identify actions that are prohibited (eg no access), safeguards that must be followed (eg ear protection must be worn), warning of a hazard (eg corrosive material) and to direct towards fire exits/equipment or first-aid equipment.”

Evacuation chair signage lets people know exactly where to find this important emergency apparatus. This ensures that evacuation procedures run smoothly and eliminates confusion. An emergency evac chair sign should comply with the BS EN ISO 7010 standard that applies to the standardisation of safety signs.

“International standardization of safety signs means everyone speaks the same language when it comes to safety. This provides a simple solution for everyone, both in workplaces and public areas like airports where many nationalities converge.”

Mr Jan-Bernd Stell
Chair of the ISO Technical Committee Team

At Seton, we stock a full assortment of signage to help guide staff and visitors to safe escape routes and emergency devices and fixings. We only use the ISO 7010 compliant symbol and offer a host of material and adhesive options.
