Evac Chair training

This week we picked a particularly wet and windy day to engage in Evac Chair training!

Access (and egress!) for all

Evac chair training

Hopefully never necessary but an emergency plan in the unlikely event of lift failure or fire is always a good idea...

Thanks to the kind people at County Down Rural Community Network distributing 'Micro Capital Grants' we have been able to purchase an Evac Chair, training in using it and its maintenance for five years.

The picture shows the Chair of the board Neil McClure pushing the Evac Chair with our Finance Assistant Chris Bunting doing his best not to appear scared. Overseeing proceedings in a t-shirt (?!) is Neil McCallum from McCallum Health and Safety.
