Building Safety

July is a significant month as we celebrate Nelson Mandela and his extraordinary legacy. This year, the theme is “It is in your hands,” a powerful reminder of the responsibility we all share in making the world a better, safer place. At Evac+Chair, we believe that ensuring evacuation safety and making resources available to evacuate everyone safely is a collective responsibility.

Emergency preparedness in educational settings is crucial. Schools and universities must be ready to handle various emergencies, from natural disasters to potential security threats. Preparedness involves not only having the right equipment but also ensuring that students and staff are trained to use it effectively. Regular drills, comprehensive training, and accessible evacuation equipment are key components of a robust emergency preparedness plan. These elements work together to create a culture of readiness and confidence among students and staff.
