Tenant Handbook

Fire : Group Leader

Multi Teanants

GROUP LEADER: as members of the Floor Response Team responsible for directing

occupants to emergency exits and leading occupants to a Safe Refuge

Area. On Multi-tenant floors, one Group Leader should be assigned for

every 10-15 employees.

PRE-EMERGENCY PLANNING

1. Read Floor Response Team Manual.
2. If for any reason you should discontinue employment in this building or floor, you are requested to notify the Fire Safety Director in the Building Management Office.
3. Keep updated employee list readily available.
4. Develop an awareness of safety conditions, fire violations and potential hazards. For example: corridor or stairwell doors blocked open, improper lighting, frayed cords, overloaded outlets, electrical extension cords used for permanent wiring, obstructed halls and corridors, trash build-ups, etc.

EMERGENCY ACTIONS: Upon notification of an emergency:

1. If possible, grab employee list and identification (vest, flashlight and/or whistle). Be verbal. “Let’s go. Follow me.”
2. Lead occupants to safe exit. Direct anyone attempting to use the elevators to the emergency exits. Feel stairwell door for heat and open cautiously to check for smoke.
3. If safe (and unless otherwise instructed): Occupants will walk down the stairs (use handrails), evacuate the building and proceed to the outside Area of Safe Refuge. All occupants will wait at a Safe Refuge Area for further instructions.
4. Keep occupants grouped together. Begin taking a head count. Review your employee list. Report to your Suite/Floor Warden. Suite/Floor Wardens will notify Fire Safety Director or Fire Department of missing occupants or the location of occupants who are physically impaired.
5. Remain with occupants and await further instructions.

REMEMBER: The audible/visual alarm sounds on ONE FLOOR, the floor of device

activation and in the stairwells. The occupants’ procedures are: upon hearing the alarm on

their floor, all occupants will walk down the stairs, evacuate the building and proceed to the

outside Area of Safe Refuge.
