About Paul McCann
Practical Evacuation Chair Training from an Experienced Specialist
I'm Paul McCann, and I help organisations across the West Midlands and surrounding counties improve their emergency evacuation arrangements through practical evacuation chair training, equipment inspections and independent advice.
My approach has always been straightforward: keep people safe by making emergency evacuation practical, understandable and relevant to the building you're working in.
Whether I'm training six members of staff in a small office or supporting a large multi-storey organisation, every course is delivered by me personally and tailored to your premises and equipment.
Experience You Can Rely On
I work with organisations and individuals responsible for protecting people during emergency evacuations, including:
Schools, colleges and universities
Care homes and healthcare providers
Offices and commercial buildings
Public sector organisations
Leisure and community facilities
Industrial and manufacturing businesses
Every building is different, which is why I believe evacuation arrangements should always begin with understanding the building, the people who use it and the practical realities of an emergency.
Need Some Practical Advice?
If you're unsure whether you need an evacuation chair, how many operators to train, or how your current arrangements should work, I'm always happy to have an informal conversation.
