Professional stair evacuation solutions for hotels, resorts and serviced apartments – helping hotel teams prepare for the safe movement of guests, visitors and people with reduced mobility during emergencies.
Hotels are designed for comfort, accessibility and high guest occupancy. During an emergency, however, the same multi-storey layout can create challenges for guests who cannot safely use stairs without assistance.
A hotel evacuation plan needs to consider every guest, employee and visitor – including people with reduced mobility, temporary injuries, elderly guests and anyone who may require assistance during a stairwell evacuation.

An evacuation chair is a specially designed mobility device used to assist a person who cannot safely use stairs independently during an emergency evacuation. It is intended to be operated by trained personnel and forms part of a hotel’s wider emergency evacuation plan.
Yes. Evacuation chairs can provide hotels with an additional method of assisting guests or staff who may have difficulty using stairs during an emergency, particularly where normal elevator use is unavailable.
Placement should be determined by the hotel’s emergency evacuation plan, stairwell configuration, accessibility requirements and operational procedures. Common considerations include designated protected routes and locations where trained personnel can access the equipment quickly.
Hotel personnel designated by the hotel’s emergency plan should receive appropriate practical training before operating an evacuation chair. Staff responsibilities should be defined by the hotel’s own emergency procedures.
Training is strongly recommended whenever evacuation chairs are deployed. Staff need to understand how the equipment is accessed, deployed and operated according to the manufacturer’s instructions and the hotel’s emergency procedures.
Requirements can vary according to the building, authority requirements, fire-safety strategy and applicable regulations. Hotels should confirm their specific requirements with the relevant authority, fire-safety consultant or competent professional. An evacuation chair should not be represented as a universally mandatory item unless the applicable authority requires it.
Yes. SABZ International provides evacuation chair solutions and related support for facilities in Dubai and across the UAE.
