Fire Emergency 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 service.

You need to consider how you will arrange the evacuation of the premises in the light of your risk assessment and the other fire precautions you have or intend to put in place.

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

The following items should be considered where appropriate:

• Fire evacuation strategy
• Action on discovering a fire
• Action on hearing the fire alarm
• Calling the fire service
• Power/process isolation
• Identification of key escape routes
• Fire wardens/marshals
• Places of assembly and roll call
• Fire fighting equipment provided
• Training required
• Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan
• Liaison with emergency services
