Fire Evacuation Plan
Protect lives and stay compliant with clear, building-specific fire evacuation plans from Focus 360 Energy
What is a Fire Evacuation Plan?
A fire evacuation plan is a building-specific document and set of visual aids that guide occupants on how to safely exit during a fire or emergency. It details escape routes, fire assembly points, alarm systems, and procedures, helping save lives and enabling fast, organised evacuations.
At Focus 360 Energy, we provide tailored evacuation plans for commercial, residential, educational, and industrial premises. Our team creates both written strategies and on-site signage packs that align with your building layout, occupancy type, and fire risk profile.
Why It Matters
Evacuation plans are more than just floorplans. They play a key role in:
- Complying with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
- Meeting expectations of local Fire and Rescue Services
- Supporting high-rise and multi-occupancy residential fire safety
- Reducing panic and confusion in an emergency
- Aiding vulnerable occupants and personal emergency evacuation plans (PEEPs)
- Inadequate or unclear plans can lead to injury, enforcement notices, or reputational damage if an incident occurs.
Who Needs This Service?
- Developers and fit-out teams needing compliance documentation
- Landlords and housing associations with multiple flats or blocks
- Building managers and FM providers responsible for fire safety
- Schools, care homes, hotels, and offices with complex layouts
- Employers with more than five staff (per Fire Safety Order)
- If you’ve made layout changes, added mezzanines or altered your fire strategy — your evacuation plans may now be outdated.
