Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEP)

Overview

Anyone who needs assistance getting in and out of a building in an emergency will require a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP). There is no fast rule as to who does and doesn’t need one, however, if there is the need for help in evacuation then a PEEP will likely be required.

This course is suitable for employees and managers who have a responsibility to ensure that all employees must be able to evacuate the premises in the event of an emergency. It covers what a PEEP must include, the different types of PEEPs and highlights the importance of having one in place.
