  1. What is the primary function of a designated assembly area during an evacuation?

    Answer: To provide a predetermined safe location where evacuees gather and are accounted for

    Assembly areas give evacuees a predetermined, safe location away from the building where personnel accountability can be taken to confirm everyone has exited safely.

  2. During an evacuation, occupants using stairwells should:

    Answer: Keep to the right to allow emergency responders to pass on the left

    Occupants should keep to the right side of stairwells during evacuation so that fire fighters and emergency responders ascending with equipment have a clear path on the left.

  3. What does the term 'shelter-in-place' mean in the context of a building emergency?

    Answer: Remaining inside the building in a designated protected area rather than evacuating

    Shelter-in-place directs occupants to stay inside the building in a designated protected space when exiting would expose them to greater hazard, such as during a chemical release or severe weather.

  4. An 'Area of Refuge' in a building is specifically designed to:

    Answer: Provide a temporary safe area for occupants with mobility impairments who cannot use stairwells

    Areas of Refuge are fire-rated spaces, typically near stairwells, where occupants with mobility impairments can wait safely for assisted evacuation by emergency responders.

  5. During a building evacuation, elevators should generally:

    Answer: Not be used by occupants because fire can disable them and trap riders

    Occupants should never use elevators during a fire evacuation because fire or heat can disable them, power can be cut, or smoke can infiltrate the shaft, trapping riders.

  6. What role does a floor warden typically play during a building evacuation?

    Answer: Ensuring all occupants on their assigned floor evacuate and reporting to the fire drill conductor

    Floor wardens sweep their assigned floor to ensure all occupants evacuate and then report accountability status to the fire drill conductor at the assembly area.
