Background/Justification/
The White River Junction VA Medical Center requires the procurement of Ferno evacuation chairs to ensure the safe, timely, and compliant evacuation of patients, visitors, and staff during emergency incidents. Our facility has multiple areas where patients with limited mobility would be unable to self‑evacuate in the event of fire, power loss, elevator outages, or other emergencies requiring vertical movement. Evacuation chairs are an essential component of life safety compliance and directly support The Joint Commission, OSHA, NFPA 101 Life Safety Code, and VA emergency preparedness requirements.
Currently, the facility does not have an adequate number of evacuation chairs strategically placed, and the existing chairs are outdated and require replacement to maintain operational readiness. This presents a risk in any situation where elevators cannot be used or where rapid evacuation is required.
Safety, safe patient handling, and Emergency management have currently in use Ferno chairs previously purchased.
