Fire and Life Safety Director Training: What Does it Teach?

Fire and Life Safety Director Training

Since 1973, New York City law has required many of the city’s building to keep a Fire and Life Safety Director on staff to coordinate and implement any fire safety response and help minimize loss of life. These fire safety directors continue to fulfill a vital role in the Fire Department’s broader strategy to protect the people of New York City from fire. In recent decades, that role has expanded to include other types of emergencies as well.

Synagogue Hate Crimes NYC

According to reports from the FBI, hate crimes are on the rise across the United States. In its Hate Crime Statistics for 2017, the Bureau cited more than 7,000 crimes that involved racial bias or hatred for the victims’ ancestry, religious affiliations, sexual orientation, ethnicity or other demographic characteristics. The victims were diverse, but so too were the offenders. The recent mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue served as a reminder that antisemitism is also an increasingly visible phenomenon and has led many in New York’s Jewish community to ponder issues surrounding security for community institutions.

Most people think of investigations as something that only law enforcement personnel ever do.

Top Five Benefits of Professional Employment Screening

Professional Background Screening NYC

For more than two-thirds of U.S. employers, background checks have become an integral part of the hiring process. Today, nearly seven-in-ten employers conduct employment screening prior to hiring a job candidate. Only a small portion of those companies attempt to conduct these screenings on their own, largely due to cost, manpower needs, and the need to comply with existing legal requirements. As a result, most companies rely on professional employment screening to perform vital background checks on new hires. Here are five reasons why:

Detecting and Preventing Employee Theft

Employee Theft Investigations

Employee theft has long been recognized as a major threat to business profitability. Each year, employers lose billions of dollars to worker theft, embezzlement, and other forms of pilfering. Unfortunately, most employers are so busy guarding against outside threats that they rarely give internal theft the serious consideration it deserves. And once money or merchandise has disappeared, it may be too late for a company to recover all that it’s lost. Fortunately, there are ways to detect and prevent employee theft, and an experienced security services firm can play an important role in your theft mitigation strategy.

Property Security Evaluation Report

Your Individualized Property Evaluation Report

Your site’s individualized property evaluation report contains information and analysis that you need to properly manage your site’s security needs. That information includes detailed analysis of the crime rate in your area, site access and parking protocols, and existing security infrastructure. Interior inspection includes analysis of emergency exits, fire suppression capabilities, and alarm infrastructure for emergencies. Exterior inspection includes analysis of structural defects, property lighting, and potential vulnerabilities in building access.

In addition to those inspections, our analysis also considered environmental factors, potential risks from older trees, outside property maintenance, and nearby crime that may overflow to the area. We also examined emergency response planning, including fire evacuation protocols and information supplied to residents about proper evacuation process.

 

Pressing Suggestions


We highly suggest a camera placement along this driveway, as the overhead cameras in the back parking lot may not capture all makes, models, and license plates of cars entering in and out based on the angle they are recording from. The best camera placement would be at the green circle closest to the sidewalk/street.
The common area is easily accessible, but based on the angle that cameras are set at the front lot, anyone can enter the basement common area concealing the side of their face that is facing the camera. This is not to say that the camera arrangement should be changed, but it is highly recommended to have coverage in this common area as the common area is on a lower floor not visible from the sidewalk.


However, a few fundamental problems exist when it comes to access control of the back parking (a big territory). Even though only two issues have ever occurred there, the wide-open access point to that lot may need to be corrected sooner than later as there is a significant uptick in crime in the 62nd precinct.

Furthermore, there are two fundamental surveillance blind spots along the driveway leading to the back parking lot and every common area.

Lastly, however unlikely it may seem, tenants should have resources and a physical guide for situations that may require an evacuation. Whether it be a flood or fire, each tenant should know how to use a fire extinguisher and where to evacuate to during a flood regardless of their proximity to a shoreline.
