Having evacuation equipment is only part of an effective emergency plan. Staff also need to know how to deploy it, use it safely, communicate with the person being assisted and work within their organisation’s emergency procedures.

Our experienced trainers come to your premises and provide structured, practical training using evacuation chairs, sledges and related equipment. We keep group sizes small enough to give delegates meaningful hands-on practice and trainer feedback.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The breakaway training helped me feel more confident and showed me how to keep myself safe without harming the service user. The trainer made the learning both teacher-led and student-centred, which helped me understand the techniques better.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The trainer is the best, I learnt new Breakaway tactics in a very easy way. It was easy to assimilate because the trainer knows how to catch attention and ensure you understand what was said.

Common Questions

Do I need a staircase for on-site training?

A suitable staircase is normally required for realistic practical chair and sledge training. We will discuss your premises and the available training area before confirming delivery.

Do you cover the whole UK?

Yes. We deliver training throughout England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

How long are your certificates valid?

Each certificate shows a renewal date set under our training policy. We recommend refresher training sooner if your risk assessment, equipment, staff or procedures change, or if there are any doubts about staff competence.

Is evacuation chair or sledge training a legal requirement?

Fire-safety law does not simply state that every organisation must buy a particular chair or sledge course. Organisations responsible for premises must make suitable fire-safety and emergency arrangements, including for people who may need assistance to evacuate, and provide appropriate staff information, instruction and training. The exact arrangements should follow the premises’ risk assessment and the law applicable in that part of the UK.

How many people can attend?

We cap standard chair and sledge courses at 12 delegates so each person has sufficient hands-on practice and trainer feedback.

What is a PEEP?

A Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan is an individual plan used in appropriate settings for a person who may need assistance to evacuate safely. Our courses explain the importance of individual evacuation needs and how equipment may fit within the organisation’s wider emergency arrangements.

Do you train on different equipment models?

Yes, subject to the equipment and trainer competence available. Tell us the make and model when booking so we can confirm the appropriate course arrangements.

Legal and emergency-planning context

Relevant fire-safety duties vary across the UK. Our training supports staff competence and emergency preparedness, but organisations remain responsible for ensuring that their fire risk assessments, evacuation plans, equipment, staffing and procedures meet the requirements that apply to their premises and location.

Practical Evacuation Training for When It Matters Most

Having evacuation equipment is only part of an effective emergency plan. Staff also need to know how to deploy it, use it safely, communicate with the person being assisted and work within their organisation’s emergency procedures.
