Creating accessible environments for disabled people
Emergency egress for disabled people
We must have procedures and policies to support safe and dignified emergency evacuation for disabled people.
Depending on the intended use of the premises, this may include:
- Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs)
- General Emergency Evacuation Plans (GEEPs)
This is to ensure that disabled people who cannot self-evacuate are able to swiftly leave the building in an emergency.
