  1. Hi all,

    I'm new here, but any advice would be appreciated.

    I'm with a charity that provides canal boat trips to less able people.

    On the back of the boat there are steps down into the passenger cabin which can be removed in order to use a lift for those who can't manage the stairs. On our largest boat, we could take 35 passengers, including up to 6 in wheelchairs. There would normally be 3 crew and a handful of carers who would come with the group. Beside the lift, there are steps to waist high exits on both sides at the front. 

    I'm looking at evacuation in case of a fire. It often takes about 15 minutes to board everyone using the lift where necessary, but I have major concern over how long it would take us to evacuate in the case of a fire.

    Help!!
