What technique would you use to transfer someone from a wheelchair to an evacuation chair? In an emergency you might have to do this as quickly as possible. If you use a “bear-hug” or “under-arm lift” technique, you risk injury to yourself even if you succeed with the evacuation. Yet it’s an aspect that some evacuation training courses fail to cover. They concentrate on protecting the chair occupant and sometimes gloss over the safety of the chair handler.
A Course Designed by Multiple Experts
For this reason, a wide range of manual handling experts have been involved in the design of the new Alistair Bromhead IOSH Evacuation Chair Train the Trainer Certificate course, so that all safety aspects are fully covered. These specialists include a sports therapist to ensure that that the safest transfer technique is incorporated into the course.
On this one-day course, the comprehensive coverage and hands-on practice included on both the practical elements and the training issues, instils real confidence in your in-house training team. And you are assured of their competence in training your staff in safe evacuation measures.
External and Internal Evacuation Chair Training Available
You can send delegates to courses arranged in various locations, such as London, Manchester and Coventry, throughout the year. They are proving highly popular so you are advised to book as early as you can.
Alternatively, the course can be provided at your premises for up to six delegates. The course can provide some evacuation chairs or make use of your own so that the delegates can become fully familiar with them.
All the instructors are experienced both in trainer training and in the topic. The IOSH Certificate is nationally recognised, so as well as saving on the costs of external training or trainers, you could offer your trainers to other businesses in your area and use them for income generation too. Alistair Bromhead train the trainer courses always bring a good return on your investment.
