Free CPD Seminar: ‘Fire evacuation communication  for disabled people: the law and the Solutions’.

This year’s Deaf Awareness week will run 5th – 11th May and will be supported by more than 250 deaf charities and organisations, under the umbrella of the UK and Scottish Council on Deafness. 

All organisations and employers should be looking at ways of ensuring they are equal access providers, and if they are not they should be seriously looking at removing barriers to improve access for Deaf and hard of hearing people. 

One of the most concerning barriers Deaf people face on a daily basis, is not having access to fire alarm warnings in public access buildings and places of work.  Something most hearing people take for granted, but for Deaf people a fire alarm evacuation can be frightening and impose great danger! 

Deaf Alerter plc, the UK’s leading provider of fire alarm warning and messaging systems for Deaf and hard of hearing people, and is offering organisations and employers the opportunity to attend a free seminar, accredited by The Construction CPD certification Service’s, Continuing Professional Development program.  The seminar is entitled: ‘Fire evacuation communication for disabled people: the law and the solutions’, and is aimed at raising awareness about the lack of fire safety provision for disabled people. It identifies what the law requires by looking at Acts such as the Disability Discrimination Act and the Regulatory Reform (fire safety) Order.
