Overview

PEEPs training for responsible persons and evacuation planners

PEEPs training explains what a Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan is, who needs one and how to build one that actually works in a real emergency. The course covers the principles of fire safety, the legal background to PEEPs, the detail of a PEEP fire plan and how to establish PEEPs as part of wider evacuation and fire drill arrangements. A PEEP is an individual escape plan for people who need extra assistance to exit a building in an emergency. Temporary PEEPs are sometimes needed for people with short-term conditions.
