Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans

Members of staff with a disability which prevents them vacating their place of work in the event of an emergency, must have a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP).  The PEEP will be arranged by the Equal Opportunities Manager in consultation with the Fire Safety Officer.  It should be noted that such a disability may arise temporarily, e.g. as the result of a sports injury.  Managers with responsibility for staff with disabilities should liaise with Mr Paul Browne, Equal Opportunities Manager.

Students who would have similiar problems evacuating a building must also have a PEEP.  Staff in schools with responsibility for students with a disability should contact Ms Linda Maguire, Disability Services Co-ordinator to make arrangements for a review of the individual needs of the student in question.
