Page: 6 of 7 Back  |  Next

Your Floor Wardens should:

  • Gather employee rosters and other emergency supplies.
  • Respond immediately to the alarm. Direct the evacuation of the area.  Unless otherwise notified, in advance, TREAT ALL ALARMS AS REAL, NOT AS A DRILL. 
  • Maintain communication with the other key personnel in your office while evacuation procedures are in effect. 
  • Locate and assist employees who are disabled.
  • Check all conference rooms in your area.
  • Follow all instructions given by the Fire department and the Cushman & Wakefield Management Team. 
  • Check stairwells for smoke prior to evacuation. 
  • Keep co-workers calm, quiet and orderly.
  • Assemble at your designated meeting place and account for all employees using a checklist.
  • Stand by until you have heard the "All Clear" message.

Emergency Evacuation Drills

Emergency evacuation drills are held at least once per year to test systems and practice emergency response on the part of occupants of the building and 500 New Jersey Avenue Management staff. Everyone is required to participate, and tenants are encouraged to practice their in-house emergency evacuation procedures.
