Emergency Preparedness for Employers Update: Stairwell Use During an Emergency

Emergency Preparedness for Employers Update: Stairwell Use During an Emergency

This presentation describes what to consider when evacuating people with mobility and other disabilities using stairwells during an emergency. Evacuation chairs are not the only solution for evacuating employees with mobility impairments.  People have different needs during an emergency evacuation, and employees with disabilities should be consulted to determine what kind of evacuation device would work for them.
