Abbott, Duncan

Preparing a PEEP - 2005 - Facilities Management 12(12) September 2005, 16-17(2) .

Discusses why many facilities mangers are unaware of their duty to implement Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEP) to ensure disabled people can also leave a building safely. Advises familiarisation with legislation, physical issues, responsibilities, mechanics of strategies and monitoring and feedback. Recommends preparation of generic evacuation plans for unscheduled disabled visitors and includes a sample PEEP form, with guidance on completion.
