Disability Risk Assessments and Personal Emergency Egress Plans

TU Dublin Process

  • Staff member/student with a disability self-refers or is referred to the SHW Office using the online referral form.
  • The SHW Administrator receives an alert and notifies the relevant Occupational Health Advisor (OHA) with responsibility for the Faculty/Function.
  • The OHA accesses the online referral form and contacts the staff member/student by email to complete the emergency egress questionnaire.
  • On receipt of completed questionnaire, OHA arranges a consultation with the staff member/student to discuss their evacuation needs. The consultation may take place over the phone, virtual meeting on MS Teams or in-person as appropriate to the circumstances.
  • Following above consultation, a written Personal Emergency Egress Plan (PEEP) is developed for the staff member/student and circulated to responsible parties for implementation.
  • PEEPs are held on record for the duration of the staff member/student’s time with TU Dublin and are reviewed as required when changes in circumstances are notified to the SHW Office.
