Because Emergency Plans Must Work for Everyone - PEEP Checklist

About Our PEEP Checklist

Not everyone can evacuate in the same way. A Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) helps organisations identify, document and communicate the support, equipment and arrangements an individual may require during an emergency evacuation. While PEEPs are commonly associated with wheelchair users, they are equally important for anyone who may require additional assistance during an emergency.  This may include: Pregnant employees People using crutches or mobility aids Workers recovering from surgery Employees with a broken leg, ankle or other temporary injury Individuals with reduced mobility People with vision impairments People with hearing impairments Anyone who may require assistance using stairs Individuals who may need more time or support to evacuate safely In some circumstances, an individual may be unable to evacuate independently and may require assistance from wardens, specialised equipment or relocation to a designated refuge area until emergency services arrive. This practical PEEP template provides a simple way to record evacuation requirements, support arrangements and emergency planning considerations, helping ensure emergency procedures work for everyone. Because emergency preparedness should include every person in your workplace.
