Safety training is a crucial part of legal compliance for commercial properties.
Using RJWestmore means giving your tenants access to interactive, life-saving instruction, available right over the internet!
With RJW, you can help train your tenants and Floor Wardens in the event of fires, earthquakes, bomb threats, and other serious emergencies. Read more to learn about how our safety modules save time, money, liability, and most importantly, lives!
Fires
Get your buildings up to code by prepping tenants for the most common type of emergency—fires!
The National Fire Protection Association reported for non-home fires in 2006:
- 128,000 incidents
- 125 deaths
- 1,850 civilian injuries
- $2,804,000,000 direct property damage
The nation’s leading fire departments have approved the RJWestmore Training System for fire emergency online training. We currently train over 150 million square feet of commercial occupants.
Earthquakes
Reduce your liability in the event of an earthquake by providing safety training and certification.
- More than 1 million earthquakes occur throughout the world each year.
- The 2008 Sichuan Earthquake resulted in over 70,000 people dead or missing and over 300,000 injured.
- The U.S. Geological Survey created an earthquake scenario for southern California that is similar in scale to the Sichuan incident. In the scenario, the earthquake would kill 1,800 people, injure 50,000, and cause $200 billion in damage.
In November 2008, Californians will participate in the largest civilian fire drill in the state’s history. Are your buildings prepared as well? No matter your location, your properties and tenants must meet safety training mandates for all types of emergencies.
Bomb Threats
Comply to mandates, like Local Law 26, that relate to manmade emergencies such as bomb threats.
New York City’s Local Law 26 requires all commercial office properties to develop emergency action plans (EAP) for responding up to 18 fire/non-fire events such as:
- Terrorist attacks
- Biological incidents
- Chemical incidents
- Nuclear incidents
- Civil disturbances and other natural and manmade disasters
RJWTS meets the FDNY (Fire Department of New York) requirements for online/web-based e-learning training to educate occupants.
Floor Wardens
Obey the law by fulfilling the training requirements of your Emergency Action Plan.
Emergency action plans involve the training of Floor Wardens, who are responsible for certain duties during an evacuation, such as sounding alarms and guiding employees to proper exits.
RJWTS provides an animated overview and resources specifically for Floor Wardens. The online tutorial covers the following emergencies:
- Fires
- Earthquakes
- Bomb Threats
The FDNY has reviewed the RJWestmore system, and has stated that implementation of our online training can be used to conduct your required EAP training.
Are your commercial properties meeting these emergency standards? Call 866-759-378-6673 or contact us to find out! We can set up your tenants for life-saving training in just 30 days!
