By means of an evacuation concept it has to be checked how in the case of plant specific dangers a safe leaving of dangerous sections can be possible and a re-entry can be avoided. The efficiency of the evacuation concept has to be controlled in regular intervalls by means of exercises and the results have to be documented.
