An emergency grab bag is a practical component of Martyn's Law compliance for public-facing premises.

Q: How many emergency grab bags does a business need? A: The number depends on your premises size and layout. UK guidance recommends at least one bag per floor or fire zone, with additional bags in larger venues. EVAQ8 offers bespoke kitting for multi-bag orders.
