Why Every Irish Workplace Needs a Professionally Crafted Emergency Evacuation Plan

A fire can spread through a workplace in minutes, but confusion is what truly puts people at risk. A clear, rehearsed emergency evacuation procedure transforms potential chaos into an orderly, safe evacuation that protects life, limits damage, and speeds recovery. Irish employers are obliged by the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work Act 2005 and the General Application Regulations 2007 to maintain a written emergency plan—yet many documents are generic, outdated, or untested. Firestoppers closes that gap with tailored strategies that work in the real world.

Our End‑to‑End Process

Fire-Risk & Premise Assessment

Chartered fire engineers walk your premises , identify ignition sources and fire hazards, review existing alarm and equipment, and map out viable escape routes.

Custom Evacuation Plan Design (Routes & Maps)

We convert those findings into a detailed evacuation plan complete with annotated floor plans, colour‑coded evacuation maps, and role assignments for managers and fire wardens. Personal Emergency Egress Plans (PEEPs) ensure staff with a disability or reduced mobility can evacuate swiftly and with dignity.

Implementation, Training & Drill Validation

Firestoppers specifies or installs compliant fire detection and alarm systems (IS 3218), emergency lighting (IS 3217), and essential fire‑fighting equipment. We then teach your team how—and when—to use them, finishing with a full evacuation drill that validates timings and head‑counts.

Maintenance & Continuous Improvement

Quarterly inspections, live‑system monitoring, and annual document reviews keep your strategy—and your staff—permanently ready. A single Firestoppers consultant remains your responsible person, coordinating with local authorities and insurers so certification and compliance never become your headache.

Built‑In Compliance with Irish Fire‑Safety Regulations

Your finished package meets or exceeds IS 3218, IS 3217, Technical Guidance Document B, and all local authority requirements. We provide the logbooks, inspection records, and evidence you need for auditors, saving your team hours of paperwork and giving senior management complete peace of mind.

Inclusive Evacuation for Staff with Disabilities (PEEPs)

A one‑size‑fits‑all approach fails the very people who may need help most. Firestoppers designs refuge areas, supplies evac‑chairs, and trains designated assistants so no colleague or visitor is left waiting when the alarm is sounding. Our personalised plans demonstrate not merely legal compliance but a genuine commitment to equality and life safety.
