Tenant Safety Personnel (continued)

Deputy Floor Wardens are typically chosen per floor as well. Companies occupying less than a full floor may choose one or two depending on their office configuration. Deputy Floor Wardens receive training adequate to assume Floor Warden responsibilities if necessary. When the regular Floor Warden is not present, Deputies will direct traffic away from elevators unless otherwise instructed by the Fire Safety Director or Fire Department.

Prior to entering a stairwell, Deputies should feel the door for heat that would indicate a fire, and check for smoke. If the stairwell is unsafe, they
will direct traffic to an alternate stairwell.

During the alert, Deputies should inspect their areas to verify that all personnel have relocated and report to the Floor Warden when the area is clear. Once relocated, the Deputy will assemble and account for all people in his or her assigned area.

Two fellow employees should be assigned as Aids to assist any person who has a handicap in may need assistance in an emergency evacuation. Physically impaired people with hearing or visual impairments are assigned to one Aid. Aids to the Physically Impaired are designated in advance and their names reported to the Property Manager. Upon reaching their destination, they will request that their Floor Warden notify the Fire Safety Director of the handicapped person’s relocation.

Please provide up-to-date information to Building Management of any persons in your company who may require assistance during an emergency evacuation.
