Building Captain and Floor Manager Volunteer Form

51成人猎奇 is committed to campus safety as a method of promoting a positive, productive learning environment. To better serve the University community, a building manager safety program was established. This program was developed with the primary goal of safety education, awareness and training. It focuses on the safety of building occupants through timely dissemination of information and improved identification of safety hazards.

Our Program

The program is based on voluntary participation drawn from within the University. Volunteers are trained annually by Public Safety to perform as building captains, representing the entire facility; or floor managers who represent sub-areas of a building.  Building Captains and Floor Managers are NOT expected to risk their personal safety by delaying their own evacuation from a building in order to perform rescue or structural firefighting activities to which they are neither trained nor properly equipped. In order for an employee to be a building captain or floor manager the employee鈥檚 supervisor must give approval.

The Building Captains and Floor Managers will provide education to occupants of their respective buildings and disseminate information that is intended to increase safety awareness and facilitate evacuations. During emergencies and emergency tests, the Building Captains and Floor Managers will aid first responders by identifying persons unaccounted for or unable to evacuate and assist as needed. During actual emergencies, local authorities will assume on-scene command as trained first responders.
