Evac+Chair “sets new benchmark” in evacuation planning with Evac Xpert

Established back in 1982, Evac+Chair is recognised as a pioneer in the domain of emergency evacuation solutions, supplying potentially life-saving equipment to care homes, hospitals, schools, transport hubs, Government buildings, retail outlets, stadiums and hospitality venues.

The company prides itself on working closely with organisations to ensure the most appropriate Evac+Chair is selected based on a building’s layout and specific requirements. This is actioned through its Evacuation Assessment process.

In order to advance this expert-led service, Evac+Chair has now unveiled Evac Xpert: a cutting-edge virtual assistant purpose-designed to support the completion of this assessment procedure online.

Using intelligent decision-making to provide fast, accurate and tailored product recommendations based on the unique characteristics of each building and stairwell, the Evac Xpert consultant helps organisations to source the right Evac+Chair to protect their people, safeguard their premises and achieve greater peace of mind.

Evac Xpert enables Evac+Chair to offer “a level of guidance and precision unmatched by any other provider”.

Smart visual tool

Rebecca Chapman, design engineer at Evac+Chair, said: “We’re excited to launch Evac Xpert. It’s a smart virtual tool designed to simplify the evacuation planning process.”

Chapman continued: “While evacuation chairs are not yet mandatory in every venue, UK legislation – including the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, as amended by the Fire Safety Act 2021 – requires that all building occupants, including those with disabilities, are considered in fire safety planning. We hope Evac Xpert will empower more organisations to meet these requirements confidently and effectively.”

Part of the Allvida Group since 2020, Evac+Chair continues to innovate in the field of life safety and inclusive mobility, delivering solutions that meet the needs of today’s increasingly diverse and urbanised world.

With a presence in over 70 countries, Evac+Chair is dedicated to enhancing safety and accessibility worldwide.

Evac Xpert is now live and available to help organisations enhance their evacuation planning.
