Certification Training for Fire Safety Directors in New York City

New York City fire safety rules mandate that certain types of occupied structures employ qualified, certified fire safety directors to take responsibility for safety training, disaster preparation, evacuations, and other emergency responses. Individuals who want to become a certified fire and life safety director must meet certain qualification requirements and attend an approved F-89 fire and life safety director course to obtain their certification. International Security Services, Inc. (ISS) provides that critical training through the ISS Fire Science Institute in New York City.

The Important Role of Fire and Life Safety Directors

Fire and life safety directors are key players in any building safety plan. These professionals are trained to adopt and implement proven response strategies for fires and other building disasters, medical emergencies, terror attacks, and active shooter situations. They are tasked with training others to recognize risks and follow response procedures that can safeguard lives during emergency situations. At International Security Services, our instructors can ensure that you receive the instruction you need to fulfill those vital roles.

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


  • Install cameras in common areas and along driveway to the back parking lot as those areas are public spaces that anyone can access and there is no surveillance coverage.

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.

  • Install a gate at the driveway leading to the back parking lot.

  • Make sure every tenant has a universal fire extinguisher and knows how to use it.

  • Develop a comprehensive evacuation plan and make sure that every tenant has received information regarding it. Condo Bylaw book is huge, tenants may easily overlook it.

  • Overall the building is not that big and has not had too many concerns regarding security breaches and/or home invasion throughout its 18-year existence. It is well kept and the fact that there is an active board monitoring and enforcing bylaws is a good sign. 



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.
