This manual has been prepared in cooperation with the Atlanta, Georgia Fire Department in an attempt to provide an outline of responsibilities and action to take in the event of an emergency. However, you will be responsible for the implementation of your own emergency plan. It is important that all key management personnel and employees are aware of the procedures in this manual.
As part of an overall safety and emergency preparedness program, we strongly recommend that all of our customers participate in life safety evacuation drills conducted by Property Management and the Atlanta, Georgia Fire Department once per year. It is important to appoint Fire Wardens to be responsible for planning and communicating emergency procedures to each employee, and to oversee and evaluate everyone’s response to an emergency. During an actual emergency, the Fire Wardens serve as liaisons between Fire Department personnel and employees, and provide invaluable assistance should an evacuation be necessary.
In cooperation with the local authorities, Property Management encourages the implementation of training and education programs on individual corporate policies and procedures for employees.
We recommend that each suite assign at least two Fire Wardens and Assistants each. Individuals chosen should be those who are available on a daily basis. Individuals selected as Wardens should be fully trained on procedures for emergencies.
