Telgian’s Executive Chairman Russell Leavitt will present the Fire Smarts Emergency Response and Evacuation Training webinar on August 8, 2019 from 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm Eastern (including Q&A time). This webinar reviews guidelines to assist facility managers in developing and implementing effective procedures for emergency response and evacuation training.
The focus of the Emergency Response and Evacuation Training webinar is on fire safety, but these procedures may also be utilized across a wide range of events. Requirements for maintaining proper means of egress and exit signage will be reviewed, along with incipient fire response programs. Proven methods for training personnel on emergency procedures will be examined, as well. And, the latest information regarding active shooter scenarios will also be reviewed.
Discussion will include the risk created when there is not a reliable water supply and the potential impact to the facility, occupants and emergency responders. The presenter will also cover situations such as determining when a water flow test should be conducted, and the key factors necessary to evaluate during water supply analysis.
