Emergency Evacuation Equipment and Training gears up for Fire and Security Matters Awards

25 April 2022

LEICESTERSHIRE-BASED company Emergency Evacuation Equipment and Training (3ET) has been shortlisted for a top industry award on the back of ensuring that National Health Service (NHS) patients, visitors and staff are able to evacuate a building safely in the event of an emergency.

3ET designs, manufactures and provides emergency moving and handling equipment for the safe evacuation of building occupants during any emergency scenario. The products designed by the company provide a proven solution for all individuals.

The business has supplied its equipment for one of the largest NHS Trusts in the UK, working closely with the Trust over several months to assess its needs, install the equipment and provide ongoing training for members of its staff.

Before this provision, the NHS Trust had very little specialist equipment to ensure the efficient evacuation of patients, visitors and staff from its buildings.

Fire and Security Matters Awards

In recognition of this work, Emergency Evacuation Equipment and Training has now been shortlisted for Fire Safety Project of the Year in the Fire and Security Matters Awards 2022.

Alison Hayward (pictured), one of 3ET’s founding directors, commented: “We’re very proud to be experts in our field and delighted to be shortlisted for this award. It’s well-deserved recognition for our entire team.”

Founded back in 2016, Emergency Evacuation Equipment and Training’s team boasts decades of experience of working with the Emergency Services, the NHS, care homes, schools and local authorities in addition to professionals operating across many other sectors.

Preparing for emergencies

The company is based near Coalville and operates a manufacturing site in Sunderland. It exports worldwide and provides on-site training, helping organisations to prepare for carrying out an emergency evacuation.

Winners of the inaugural edition of the Fire and Security Matters Awards will be announced on Thursday 28 April at a gala ceremony to be at the Coventry Building Society Arena and hosted by comedian and impressionist Alistair McGowan.
