Emergency Escape Route Assessment (EERA)
Emergency Escape Route Assessment (EERA)
At GHES, we understand that safe evacuation is paramount during emergencies. Our Emergency Escape Route Assessment (EERA) evaluates escape paths and muster points to ensure personnel safety under realistic hazard conditions.
What is EERA?
EERA is a qualitative and quantitative evaluation of escape route availability, accessibility, and exposure to fire, explosion, or toxic releases. It is usually conducted during design or modifications of process facilities, offshore platforms, or complex plants.
EERA Approach
We use 3D layout models, process data, and consequence modelling to identify:
-
Escape route blockages or choke points
-
Exposure to thermal radiation, overpressure, or gas clouds
-
Safe muster area locations and access routes
The assessment produces practical recommendations to optimize escape routes and emergency planning.
