Evacuation Monitor
Safety Monitors play a critical role in the event of an emergency and are responsible for the following:
- Reading and being familiar with this manual (as should all building occupants).
- Familiarizing staff and co-workers with emergency procedures.
- Acting as a liaison between the Emergency Coordinator and his/her department/work area.
- Ensuring that co-workers, contractors and visitors have vacated the premises if it safe to do so.
- If occupants are trapped in areas or the Evacuation Monitor is otherwise unable to completely evacuate an area, they should immediately convey this information to emergency personnel.
- When the fire alarm sounds, ensuring that nearby personnel are aware of the emergency and that occupants exit using the stairwells.
- Ensuring that visitors are assisted in evacuating the building.
- Knowing where their Designated Meeting Site is and communicating this information to occupants.
- Instructing occupants to remain in the Designated Meeting Site until directed by the Fire Department.
- Evaluating and reporting problems to the Emergency Coordinator after an emergency event.
