Evac+Chair, the original manufacturer and global leader in evacuation chairs, has set a new benchmark in evacuation planning with the launch of its new online product consultant, Evac Xpert™.

Established in 1982, Evac+Chair is a pioneer in emergency evacuation solutions, supplying life-saving equipment to care homes, hospitals, schools, transport hubs, government buildings, retail outlets, stadiums and hospitality venues.

Evac+Chair prides itself on working closely with organisations to ensure the most appropriate Evac+Chair is selected based on a building’s layout and specific requirements through its complimentary Evacuation Assessment.

To advance this expert-led service, Evac+Chair has now unveiled Evac Xpert™ – a cutting-edge virtual assistant to support the completion of this assessment online.

Using intelligent decision making to provide fast, accurate and tailored product recommendations based on the unique characteristics of each building and stairwell the innovative Evac Xpert™ consultant helps organisations source the right Evac+Chair to protect their people, safeguard their premises and achieve greater peace of mind.

The first ground-breaking, user-led, tool of its kind, Evac Xpert™ sets a new benchmark in evacuation planning, and enables Evac+Chair to offer a level of guidance and precision unmatched by any other provider.

Rebecca Chapman, Design Engineer of Evac+Chair, said: “We’re excited to launch Evac Xpert™, a smart virtual tool designed to simplify the evacuation planning process.

“While evacuation chairs aren’t yet mandatory in every venue, UK legislation, including Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, amended by the Fire Safety Act 2021, requires that all building occupants, including those with disabilities, are considered in fire safety planning.

“We hope Evac Xpert™ will empower more organisations to meet these requirements confidently and effectively.”

Part of the Allvida Group since 2020, Evac+Chair continues to innovate in the field of life safety and inclusive mobility, delivering solutions that meet the needs of today’s increasingly diverse and urbanised world.

With a presence in over 70 countries, Evac+Chair is dedicated to enhancing safety and accessibility worldwide.

Evac Xpert™ is now live and available to help organisations enhance their evacuation planning.
