Legal Requirement

Evacuation Chair Plan

Is this considered a reasonable adjustment under UK Law?

Overview

Must have PEEP.

For Employees

You cannot work on an upper floor without a safe way down in a fire. Demand a PEEP (Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan) immediately.

For Employers

If the lifts fail in a fire, how do they get out? Failing to provide an evac chair is a major legal liability.

Key Considerations

  • Trained colleagues needed.
  • Regular drifts.
