Is an evacuation chair mandatory on building sites in Oman?

Not always written as a hard legal mandate for every building — but fire safety consultants and civil defence inspections often expect stair evacuation devices where lifts cannot be used in an emergency. Multi-storey projects increasingly treat them as standard emergency preparedness. Confirm the exact requirement with your fire safety consultant or ROP Civil Defence advisor.

What is the difference between an evacuation chair and a stretcher?

An evacuation stair chair is for descending stairs with a seated person, using a track or wheel system. A folding stretcher is for horizontal transport on flat ground and into ambulances. Most multi-storey sites keep both. If you need flat-ground transfer, see our foldable stretcher Oman page.

How many people are needed to operate an evacuation chair?

Most models we supply can be run by one trained person on stairs. A second operator helps with heavier occupants or awkward stair layouts. Basic usage guidance comes with every supply.

Do you deliver evacuation chairs across Oman?

Yes — Muscat and nationwide. Contact us for bulk project pricing, delivery timelines, and installation guidance.

What maintenance does an evacuation chair require?

Check straps, wheels, tracks, and locks regularly. Keep it clean, store it dry, and fold it into your annual emergency equipment inspection schedule.

How to Use an Evacuation Chair

Include evacuation chair operation in your building's fire drill and emergency response procedures.

1
Unlock and unfold the chair in the designated emergency storage location.
2
Position the occupant securely and fasten all restraint straps with quick-release buckles.
3
Engage wheel locks on level ground before transferring to the staircase.
4
Descend stairs at a controlled pace — one operator at the rear, optional second at the front.
5
After use, clean, inspect, and return the chair to its storage point ready for the next emergency.

Maintenance & Storage

Keep clean and inspect straps, wheels, and tracks regularly.
Check locking devices before each use.
Store in a dry, non-corrosive environment.
Do not exceed the rated load capacity of 159 kg.
Report any damage or worn components immediately.

Safety Cautions

Always lock fender locking devices and fasten all safety belts before moving the occupant.
Avoid sharp objects that could tear the stretcher surface during operation.
Descend stairs at a controlled pace — never rush during evacuation.
