Tenant Safety Coordinator Responsibilities

Each tenant should appoint a Tenant Safety Coordinator and one Alternate for every 50 employees.. The people chosen should be individuals who rarely travel and who are familiar with the names and faces of all employees in your office. One Safety Coordinator should be responsible for the development and implementation of the tenant's safety program.

This program should include:

• Development of evacuation plans.
• Familiarize employees with the location of all  stairwells.
• Familiarize employees with the location and proper use of fire extinguishing equipment within the building.
• Inform the management office of all handicapped people who might require assistance during evacuation.
• Train employees in emergency response procedures.
• Practice emergency procedures to assure familiarity with individual responsibilities.

The management team is available to assist you in organizing training sessions for your designated employees.  Semi-annual training is provided by building management.

Mobility Impaired Persons

The evacuation of mobility impaired  persons will be the responsibility of each tenant. The Tenant Safety Coordinator should identify those people who will require assistance during an evacuation and establish an action plan for evacuating these employees. It is recommended that two (2) persons be assigned to assist each disabled person in the office. If any problem arises in the evacuation of disabled persons, contact the Fire Department for assistance immediately. A list of all disabled persons should be forwarded to the Management Office.

Evacuation of disabled persons can be accomplished by escorting the individual to a designated safe location. The Fire Department will be notified upon arrival and they will locate and remove the individual from the building.

• Notify the Management Office of the disabled persons location.
• Take down phone number and location of where person is located.
