A building Evacuation Drill is a practical test during which the effectiveness of a building-specific Emergency and Evacuation Plan is tested.

It is compulsory, according to the regulations in force and taking into account the Ministerial Decree 25/08/2022, to carry out the evacuation drill:

• BUILDINGS IN WHICH EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES ARE CARRIED OUT (classrooms, laboratories, workshops, etc.): An evacuation test every 3 months for a total of 4 tests.
• BUILDINGS WITHOUT EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES (offices, etc.): evacuation test at least once a year (D.M. 02/09/2021).

Each Employer, pursuant to Art. 2 of Ministerial Decree 02/09/2021, in coordination with any other Employers on the building, has the task of ensuring the organisation of evacuation drills of the assigned premises, according to the periodicity and methods described in the Italian version of this page.
