O2 Academy Venues throughout the UK Using Evac-Chair

With O2 Academy venues events attracting thousands of concert-goers, the chairs will ensure everyone can be safely evacuated in the event of an emergency. The chairs have been supplied by Evac+Chair International, the UK’s leading evacuation specialist and will benefit individuals with physical disabilities, pregnant women and the elderly, amongst others.

O2 Academies have designated areas for disabled persons which will be significantly enhanced by the addition of Evac+Chair products. An Academy Music Group representative said:
