Working for a Facilities Management company, I've been asked if the supply of Evac Chairs, and subsequent training, is our responsibility or the tenant's? My answer is the tenant. As they are the employer, it is their responsibility to appoint a competent person to assist and take care of such issues and also write the PEEP, should it be required, to be followed in an evacuation procedure. Any advice/assistance on this question would be greatly received.

Hi I'm in the opposite position. The landlord has put evac chairs in but seems not to have anything in place for their maintenance or training in their use. I have not asked for them so is it now up to me to get my staff trained in their use. Keep the training up to date and maintain the equipment? We have no one who will need them at the moment, but I imagine when we do it will be at very short notice. What do others think? Graham
