BuildingsOne Life Safety & Security Series comprises a set of documents and templates that incorporate building life safety and security concepts and applications, across a broad range of scenarios and incidents, potentially encountered at commercial office buildings. The majority of the series includes pre-formatted emergency procedures templates in order to prepare for a range of life safety crises that could occur at a commercial office building. The Life Safety & Security Series documents and templates include emergency procedures templates for eleven emergency scenarios. The emergency procedures templates are outlined in a “scripted, step by step, recommended actions format”, with typical property positions – Property Manager | Security Manager | Chief Engineer (serving in an Emergency Response Team role) identified as the likely position responsible for completing recommended response actions. While properties’ staff size and composition will vary, basic emergency response actions are identified and formatted in a way that facilitates individual modification to emergency team roles or response actions, if needed. The designed result is comprehensive, “well-thought out” emergency procedures, specific to the manager’s property. The emergency procedures templates also include important information, relative to the recommended proactive steps, in preparing for each crises and, for some operational programs, the steps that can be taken to reduce the likelihood that an emergency occurs.
