Evacuation, Escape and Rescue Analysis (EERA)

Evacuation, Escape and Rescue Analysis (EERA) evaluates the effectiveness of escape routes, mustering, evacuation, and recovery arrangements to ensure personnel can reach a place of safety within required timeframes under major accident conditions. EERA supports compliance with goal-setting safety regulations and industry best practice for high-hazard facilities.

Service information

Analyse escape routes, travel distances and single-point vulnerabilities under fire, smoke, explosion, or toxic gas conditions
Calculate mustering times and the suitability of muster point facilities and locations
Identify escalation scenarios between process units or hazardous areas, including domino effects
Assess impairment effects (e.g., reduced visibility, heat, structural damage) on escape and evacuation performance
Review emergency response plans, first-responder access, medical recovery provisions, and search-and-rescue integration
Develop pragmatic improvement recommendations to meet ALARP and goal-setting regulatory expectations
Use the results from the EERA as input to the facility QRA (Quantitative Risk Assessment) and ALARP demonstration
