FAQs
Evacuation plan design FAQs
What is an emergency evacuation plan?
What are the fire evacuation regulations in the UK?
Fire evacuation arrangements form part of the general fire safety duties that apply to most non-domestic premises. In England and Wales, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires the Responsible Person to carry out a suitable fire risk assessment and provide appropriate emergency procedures. Equivalent legislation applies in Scotland and Northern Ireland, although the specific requirements differ between nations.
What should be in an emergency evacuation plan?
An emergency evacuation plan should include clear escape routes, emergency exits, fire warning arrangements, assembly points, procedures for raising the alarm, arrangements for vulnerable people and personal emergency evacuation plans where required. It should also identify responsible people, explain how visitors and contractors will be managed, and set out how the plan will be communicated, practised and reviewed.
