First, let’s be modern and call them the Volunteer Safety Team

Volunteer Safety Team/Floor Warden

Many jurisdictions require you to have a program in place for how you’ll use employee volunteers to help you with an evacuation. And if your building management runs a program for your site, you’ll still need to make sure your internal program is designed to maximize your volunteers. 

We’ve built programs for everything from complex manufacturing facilities to high rises in cities like New York, San Francisco, Paris, London, and Singapore. We understand what you need out of a volunteer program and how to avoid the common pitfalls of expecting employees to be first responders (which we do not recommend!).

It's a human instinct to want to be of assistance in an emergency. Let us help you structure a program that lets people help but protects everyone from the wrong expectations.
