Emergency Evacuation is high priority for ALL people. With the ever increasing likelihood of accidents, fires, flooding and terrorism emergency evacuation plans need to incorporate all levels of staff abilities.
What happens with a staff member that has a disability in an emergency?
How do you assist people of differing needs to ESCAPE?
Who is responsible for assisting staff in an emergency evacuation including visiting individuals?
universal ESCAPE consults throughout Australia strategically supporting organisations to plan for the emergency evacuation of staff members with disability, mobility impairment and various health conditions. We assist in the development of Personal Evacuation Plans (PEPs).
PEPs are customised documentations that provide a framework for the planning and provision of emergency evacuation of people with a disability.
The most important component to emergency evacuation is - to get everyone out safely.

ABOUT PEPs
We know that with the increases in access to buildings the likelihood of having an individual with a disability in the building during an emergency evacuation is also increased.
If people with a disability can get into a building then, given appropriate planning, they will be able to get out again in an emergency.
This is where universal ESCAPE can assist. We take out the complexities and assist your organisation to holistically customise PEP's for ALL staff needs.
The people responsible for devising emergency evacuation procedures often lack sufficient information about disability conditions and issues. This is unsatisfactory as our experience has shown that with well informed staff, carefully designed facilities, appropriate planning and ongoing support ALL staff will be catered for.
With universal ESCAPE's professional services your staff will be well informed, prepared and confident, to develop emergency evacuation procedures for your organisation.
