FIRE EVACUATION PLAN

A fire emergency evacuation plan (FEEP) is a written document which includes the action to be taken by all staff in the event of fire and the arrangements for calling the fire brigade. It can include any relevant information in relation to the FEEP.

General Fire Notice For small premises this could take the form of a simple fire action sign posted in positions where staff and relevant persons can read it and become familiar with its contents.

Staff Fire Notice High fire risks or large premises will need more detailed emergency evacuation plan which takes account of the findings of the fire risk assessment, e.g. the staff significantly at risk and their location. In addition notices giving clear and concise instructions of the routine to be followed in case of fire should be prominently displayed.

In certain cases you should nominate persons to implement the fire action plan and give them adequate training in fire fighting and evacuation procedures.
