Risk pitfalls and guardrails
Using a refuge as the entire evacuation plan for a person needing assistance.
Guardrail: Do not answer with unsupported lists, invent a single UK legal regime, confuse the 24-hour FSC1 window with working time, treat the FSC2 three-hour recommendation as a limit or present internal allocations as NEBOSH weights.
Assuming one audible alarm and standard sign meet every occupant's needs.

Memory anchors
PEEP is personal
A personal plan defines workable assistance for an individual's circumstances.
A refuge is a stage
It provides temporary relative safety and communication, not automatic completion of evacuation.
Warning needs more than sound
Visual, tactile or personal arrangements may be needed for accessible warning.
Lighting supports failure
Emergency lighting helps people find routes when normal supply or visibility is impaired.
Fail safe preserves escape
Door releases and related devices should default to a safe condition when power or control fails.
Checkpoint rule
Do the check-up only after you can summarize each concept in one sentence and identify one dangerous pitfall from memory.
