As an extra precautionary measure, Ski Pads have been added to all buildings managed by Community Health Partnerships (CHP), where no evacuation aid was present in the stairwells. Ski Pads are evacuation sledges designed for moving physically impaired people along corridors or down stairs in the event of an emergency.

All line managers within CHP premises should contact their building manager to arrange for staff to undertake the Ski Pad training. For further information, please contact a health and safety advisors: Mark.Clayton@merseycare.nhs.uk / Trevor.Duggan@merseycare.nhs.uk
