| 释义 |
An escape chair or evacuation chair is a device manufactured for the smooth descent of stairways in the event of an emergency. The Evac Chair was invented in the United States in 1982. The single-user operation device does not require heavy lifting to evacuate a person. TypesThe original Escape-Chair, with various models for various situations, addresses the need for an evacuation solution in case there is an emergency, and egress out of a structure or vessel becomes imperative. The table below is based on the Escape-Chair Standard and the Comfort model for comparison.
Enhanced models can have chairs that require two-person operation; however, these are more commonly used in ambulances. Lifting handles are used for descent and ascent of stairs. Caterpillar tracks are also used on the stairs. LawsUnited KingdomThe DDA ACT[1] says that every person is to have a safe entrance into and egress from a building. Another law regarding chairs is the RRFSO.[2] Created in 2005, this regulation states that fire officers are not required to enter buildings. Failure to follow the above laws can result in serious issues. If a person was to perish in the building due to a lack of adequate evacuation equipment, the owners or operators of the building could be charged with Corporate manslaughter.[3] References1. ^DDA ACT, The DDA Act was created in 1995 and has been amended since, the latest amendment was in 2005 {{fire fighting}}2. ^RRFSO.
