Does the Evacuation Chair you are considering
have Four or only Two Wheels when "In Use"?

We are seriously concerned with the Occupation Health and Safety implications of a type of Evacuation Chair available for sale in Australia.

Four wheels for easy manouvering on level surfaces and landings

 

Two wheels for manourvering particularly on landings create a significant manual handlings risk

We can not stress strongly enough the risks we consider exist with the use of a two wheel type evacuation chair.

The risk exists for both the operator in terms of manual handling and the person being transported during transfer to and from the chair. All we ask is that you seriously view, operate any chair you are considering. We are more than happy to provide our full range of chairs for demonstration and comparison purposes.

Just because they are used extensively overseas does not mean they meet Australian OH&S requirements.
