SAFE EVACUATION FROM AIRPORT BUILDINGS
ARE YOU PREPARED FOR A CALAMITY OR EMERGENCY ON An airport, SUCH AS A FIRE, smoke, left luggage OR A TECHNICAL failure? AND DO YOU TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THAT IN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS THE AIRPORT MUST BE evacuated QUICKLY AND safely?
PASSENGERS AND EMPLOYEES MAY NOT USE THE LIFTS, SO the stairs are THE MOST EFFECTIVE EVACUATION route. Besides MOST airports ARE ACCESSIBLE FOR PERSONS WITH A reduced MOBILITY (PRM`S). IT IS more DIFFICULT TO evacuate them IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY.
HIGH-QUALITY EVACUATION EQUIPMENT FOR airports
Escape Mobility Company developed high-quality evacuation equipment especially for emergency situations and evacuations from airports and terminals. In this way you can evacuate PRM`s quickly, safely and comfortably in the event of an emergency.
By using evacuation equipment your airport and terminal is prepared for any kind of evacuation.
Obligation
An evacuation plan indicating the emergency doors must be clearly visible in the airport. Evacuation chairs must be available for stairs to the emergency doors.
EVACUATION FROM AN AIRPORT: WITH AN EVACUATION CHAIR
Evacuation chairs help to ensure the safety of PRM`s during an emergency situation. People who would benefit from evacuation chairs are not just people in wheelchairs. Less able or perhaps people suffering from short-term injury, all need to be catered for, should an emergency evacuation occur.
EVACUATION CHAIR: WHY ESCAPE-CHAIR®?
The unique sliding / braking system makes the braking of the Escape-Chair possible on all different kinds of stairs, from wood to concrete. This braking system is optimized by the weight of the evacuee, in combination with the pressure of the operator pushing down on the handle in the direction of the stairs.
ALSO AVAILABLE IN POWERED VERSION
Moreover, our evacuation chair is also available in a powered version. It is easy to use: with just one touch of a button you are ready to evacuate. A single operator can push the operating handle down in the direction of the stairs but for easier maneuverability we advise that an evacuation should be done by 2 people.
ACI HANDBOOK FOR AIRPORTS AND PRM
The ACI, Airports Council International, recently issued the new handbook for airports around the world. This manual is mainly aimed at airport operators. It is intended to help airports improve the accessibility of air travel for passengers with disabilities, including people with reduced mobility (PRM`s).
The recommendations in this handbook are designed to effectively help airports with disabilities to design new facilities and improve existing facilities. ACI hopes that the implementation of the recommendations will contribute significantly to the goal of airports without obstacles.
A separate chapter (pages 133-134) is entirely about evacuation and the recommendation of using evacuation aids.
