FLSD Staff Training and Drills 2

Question 1

During floor warden training, the FLSD should emphasize that floor wardens should NOT:

Accepted Answer

Re-enter the building after evacuation without authorization from FDNY or the FLSD

Answer

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.

Question 2

When conducting fire safety orientation for new building employees, the FLSD should ensure they can identify:

Accepted Answer

The location of the nearest exit, stairwell assignment, and assembly area for their floor

Answer

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.

Question 3

The FLSD wants to improve drill performance after a poor result. The most effective approach is to:

Accepted Answer

Conduct targeted training addressing the specific deficiencies identified, then run a follow-up drill

Answer

Targeted training addressing specific deficiencies, followed by a follow-up drill to measure improvement, is the most effective approach to improving emergency response performance.

Question 4

A floor warden reports that half the occupants on their floor don't know who the floor warden is. The FLSD should:

Accepted Answer

Post warden identification in prominent locations and incorporate warden introduction into new employee orientation

Answer

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.

Question 5

Training records for fire drills and floor warden training must be retained for a minimum of:

Accepted Answer

3 years

Answer

NYC Fire Code requires fire drill and training records to be maintained for a minimum of 3 years and available for FDNY inspection.
