During floor warden training, the FLSD should emphasize that floor wardens should NOT:
Answer: Re-enter the building after evacuation without authorization from FDNY or the FLSD
One of the most critical floor warden rules is to never re-enter the building after evacuation unless authorized by FDNY or the FLSD — re-entry can result in death.
When conducting fire safety orientation for new building employees, the FLSD should ensure they can identify:
Answer: The location of the nearest exit, stairwell assignment, and assembly area for their floor
New employee orientation must at minimum cover: where the nearest exit is, which stairwell to use, and where to go outside the building (assembly area) — the minimum survival information.
The FLSD wants to improve drill performance after a poor result. The most effective approach is to:
Answer: Conduct targeted training addressing the specific deficiencies identified, then run a follow-up drill
Targeted training addressing specific deficiencies, followed by a follow-up drill to measure improvement, is the most effective approach to improving emergency response performance.
A floor warden reports that half the occupants on their floor don't know who the floor warden is. The FLSD should:
Answer: Post warden identification in prominent locations and incorporate warden introduction into new employee orientation
Visibility of floor wardens can be improved by posting identification in common areas and ensuring new employee orientation includes a floor warden introduction — systematic solutions work better than individual effort.
Training records for fire drills and floor warden training must be retained for a minimum of:
Answer: 3 years
NYC Fire Code requires fire drill and training records to be maintained for a minimum of 3 years and available for FDNY inspection.
The FLSD should conduct a 'tabletop exercise' with floor wardens to:
Answer: Walk through emergency scenarios verbally to identify gaps in knowledge and procedures without a physical drill
Tabletop exercises are discussion-based scenario walkthroughs that test knowledge and identify procedural gaps without requiring a physical evacuation drill.
