Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEP)

Overview

One of the main responsibilities for organisations is to ensure that all employees on the premises must be able to evacuate or get to a safe place rapidly in the event of an emergency, including those with reduced accessibility. This is where a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan or ‘PEEP’ comes into action.

This course will outline the requirements of implementing the appropriate provisions to support employees who may have difficulty responding to an emergency alarm or escaping from a building unaided.
