Floor Response Team

At the time of move-in, each tenant is asked to complete the Floor Response Team Form designating personnel that will be responsible for taking charge in the event of an emergency. It is up to each tenant to assure that this form is updated when designated personnel leave employment of the firm or for other reasons are no longer able to perform the outlined duties of emergency personnel.

While the Office of the Building may periodically host Floor Response Team training, the general responsibilities are outlined here. It is the responsibility of all Floor Response Team personnel to familiarize themselves with these guidelines as well as all of the building’s Emergency Procedures.

There are two (2) primary Floor Warden positions. They are:  

• Floor Warden – Responsible for controlling staff in event of emergency and explaining/overseeing all emergency actions.
• Alternate Floor Warden - Each tenant should designate an alternate Floor Warden in case the Floor Warden is out of the office when an emergency occurs.

Duties of these positions include:

•  Leads employees to exit stairwells and monitors the safe and efficient evacuation via stairwells.
• After all personnel have evacuated the suite, returns to the office suite to ensure that all have in fact evacuated and that there are no injured persons left behind.
• Assists any handicapped individuals during an emergency and/or building evacuation.
