Why do the Chairs Need Servicing?
Servicing ensures that your chair/s will be in pristine working order if the time comes when they are required. It is paramount that an annual service takes place and there are now government guidelines available in the form of PUWER Regulations (Provision and Use of Works Equipment Regulations 1998).
PUWER Regulations are designed to cover general workplaces such as offices, shops, hospitals, care homes, building sites, farms, factories and anywhere that work equipment and machinery are used.
It is intended to be used as guidance for professional health and safety inspections by safety professionals who provide health and safety services for medium to large companies (eg trainers and officers).
The document is also intended to be used by law enforcement officers and on occasion by HSE inspectors and other legal professionals.
The structure of the chair will be checked to ensure it is intact. The battery cells should be replaced every two years to ensure the reliability of the equipment. We can arrange professional expert servicing for your equipment to assist you in meeting your requirements with the PUWER Regulations (Provision and Use of Works Equipment Regulations 1998).
We recommend regular visual inspections of the evacuation chairs to check for any signs of wear and tear, damage, or malfunction. As a guideline, all emergency escape equipment be inspected and serviced annually.
Our qualified engineers can conduct on-site servicing for your convenience.
