Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) Process

A project to update the UCC PEEP Process is near completion.

The UCC PEEP Process framework has been substantially developed through extensive cross-University consultation and is currently undergoing a final consultation stage prior to formal adoption and implementation.

Please see link to near final draft Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan (PEEP) Process Guidance Document.

Once implemented, this process will replace the information below on this page.

Fire Evacuation & PEEPS

• Each School/Department must have a building fire evacuation plan
• Each School/Department must have or be covered (through prior agreement with adjoining areas/personnel) by a trained Fire Marshal (voluntary role, deputies may be required to cover A/L and S/L absence)
• Fire Marshals will assist in the evacuation of buildings and in managing external assembly points until such a time as a building is deemed safe to re-enter by Fire Brigade/Security personnel
• Emergency evacuation triage/staggered evacuation (of ambulant, semi-ambulant or non-ambulant people) or sheltering indoors may be necessary
• During fire emergencies sheltering in place in a fire protected area (generally a fire escape stairs) may be necessary for mobility impaired persons located on the upper floors of buildings or enclosed basements (as lifts cannot be used - Fire Brigade requirements)
• Contact the General Services Officer and Buildings & Estates Operational Fire Officer in relation to Fire Evacuation Plans, Fire Training and Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (building and individual specific):
  • General Services Office
  • Fire Safety
